Thanks for your upcoming review, which I've seen ahead of its publication today. I would like to respectfully point out that the book is not a study in the fragility of the male psyche, but rather an immersion into the tragedy of every person who ever suffered abuse, serial bereavement at a young age, mental disorder, mental illness, and addiction. Not everything is gender politics. Certainly not this book, and nor should any reading of it be. Completely outside its scope, women, the black community, trans & gay people, and other oppressed groups are way more familiar with everyday suffering than privileged groups like males--more specifically white men. However, nobody calls them fragile for it. In fact, calling their experience into question would be called gaslighting, not so? Other than that and a few other instances of not really touching on the essence of the book or ever giving your personal opinion as to its merit, I think you make some accurate comments. I cannot expect everyone to relate to my protagonist's experience or, as a result of not relating, to like it, but this has certainly given me a peek into more readers' mindset. Thanks again.
