Venus Envy
About this book
Focusing on Martin Amis and Ian McEwan, the author examines the dilemma facing the 1990s male. He argues that these two authors, beset by obsessions about paternity in the post-nuclear age, sum up the way the image of the modern man is distorted to present its more reputable aspects.
