Lädt ... US Guys: The True and Twisted Mind of the American Manvon Charlie LeDuff
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  fulner | Jun 10, 2020 |   A decent read about the hidden men in America. Those that balance the soft, pasty & pretty girls of the adult entertainment industry. Nature abhors a vacuum. Nature seeks balance. This book reveals the hidden balance within our culture. Be glad not to live at this level of subsistence. (  ) RMSmithJr | Sep 27, 2007 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"US guys: The true and twisted mind of the American man is Charlie LeDuff's road trip into the heart of American manhood. No one knows this territory better than LeDuff, a national reporter for The New York Times, who has spent the last year on the job sites and at the kitchen tables of a vivid cast of ordinary men. From the jaded homicide detective in Detroit to the two-bit jockey at a race track in Miami, these are the everyday sons of the country: caught by change, trapped between their histories and dreams, whipsawed by an America they love but increasingly fail to understand. Although they come from every corner of the country, they speak a common language - an inadvertent poetry of dignity and distress captured by LeDuff's prose."--Jacket.

Based on the description I had expected some hardcore manliness, some real MRM stuff. But there was none of that.
There was little actually tying the book together at all. Each chapter was a story of its own of LeDuff traveling to a different part of the country to take part in some form of everyday life there.
The first couple chapters dealing with Oklahoma really shouldn't have been first. Hanging out with meth addicts in a flea bag motel is not a way to get me to want to keep turning the page.
That being said the chapter on Burning Man in Black Rock City, NV was absolutely amazing, I also really like the chapter on the Pentecostal movement in Cleveland, TN, and playing in the AF2 in Amarillo, TX (
