Cynthia Enloe, author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: MakingFeminist Sense of the Iraq WarFor decades, feminist scholars, memoirists, and novelists have exploredthe lineaments of mother-daughter relationships, yet the world offathers and sons has garnered relatively little attention. In his closelyobserved memoir, King of the Wild Suburb, noted Gender Studiesscholar Michael Messner opens up the affective terrain betweenfathers and sons, and in the process deepens and complicates ourunderstanding of masculinity. Alice Echols, author of Hot Stuff: Disco and the Remaking ofAmerican CultureMichael Messner's reflections on coming of age in the pivotal Sixtiesdeftly captures the fault lines that separated so many young menand women from the lives of their parents and grandparents. It was, perhaps, easier for young women to rebel and choose careers overhomemaking than it was for young men to opt out of a culture thatmade war, guns, and hunting the anchors of manhood. King of the WildSuburb helps us understand how masculinity has changed, albeit stillprecariously, making it possible to maintain a fidelity to one's pastwhile passing on to the next generation a freedom to explore new waysto be a man.
