'A brilliant writer.' Russell Tovey

‘Thoroughly entertaining.’ OTEGHA UWAGBA

‘Funny and beautifully revealing.’ BELLA MACKIE

‘Wise, sharp and naughty.’ THE OBSERVER

‘Herein lie the men of Raven Smith. Each of them has left a mark, a memory, a stain, whether they meant to or not. Some hit deep, and I caught feels. Some I discarded like a clip-on neck tie’

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Raven Smith’s Trivial Pursuits, comes a pin sharp, hilarious and incisive exploration of what it means to be a man in the modern day.

This book is about men because, in an annoying way, everything is. Funny men, tall men, charming men. Stepdads, actual dads and ripped ‘sports dads’. Raven Smith has been trying to distil what it is about men that has kept him intrigued his whole life.

Part memoir, part exploration of the peculiar dynamics and amorphous boundaries of masculinity, Raven looks unflinchingly at his own history, offering a cautious reverence of a life lived in parallel with other men. Blending the personal, the primal and the perennial, these are Raven Smith’s men in all their infuriating, labyrinthine complexity.

Review

PRAISE FOR RAVEN SMITH’S MEN

The antithesis to the plot of Pride and Prejudice, Raven Smith retains both his pride and prejudice as we cringe along to his multifaceted sexual conquests and misdemeanours. Constantly reminding us of our own rush from puberty to adulthood, Raven’s searingly honest voice spirals us downwards into an ever shifting personal rabbit hole from which, presented with a much needed emotional hand job, we climb back out into the light. A brilliant writer, he takes up all the space, pushing over extended budgie smugglers into gaps that have been missing from the contemporary autobiography for far too long.” RUSSELL TOVEY, ACTOR, WRITER & BROADCASTER

‘A thoroughly entertaining, no-holds-barred examination of modern masculinity that offers up conclusions as surprising as they are perceptive." OTEGHA UWAGBA

‘Raven Smith’s Men is a book both unfairly funny and beautifully revealing. I felt like a curtain had been pulled back, allowing me not only to inhabit his brain for a while, but also to look at men through the eyes of one who finds them so interesting, frustrating and addictive. Raven himself is the lynchpin of this book, and his writing is so near perfect I could read about this particular man all day.’BELLA MACKIE

‘MEN is stylish, funny, and acid-tongued, which is to say it’s everything I love about Raven Smith’s writing” MONICA HEISEY

‘In a nutshell: Boys boys boys. Writer, charmer-about-town and meme magician…part-screamingly funny memoir, part-treatise on men, patriarchy and masculinity – and where he fits into it all.’ EVENING STANDARD

‘Raven Smith’s Men is a new collection of essays about the writer’s conflicted love for men, and it’s just as wise, sharp and naughty as you’d expect from one of the funniest men on the internet.’ THE OBSERVER

About the Author

Raven Smith has been 32 for several years and lives in London with his husband and cat. The current Vogue and former Sunday Times columnist is quoted by many as the funniest person on Instagram, which does nothing to minimise his ego. His first book, Trivial Pursuits, was a Sunday Times best-seller.

    2.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a ramble
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I enjoyed Raven Smith’s last book, which felt quite sharp and to the point - and was funny like his Instagram presence and some of his journalism. This book seems very slap dash and hodge podge. They writing is sloppy, there are typos as well as factual errors and way too many simple-minded metaphors. In the Devil Wears Prada, the boots Raven mentions are by Chanel, not Prada as he suggests. The apartment in Rosemary’s Baby is typical of the Upper West Side, not the Upper East Side, as Raven suggests. I just wish there had been the effort to make this sharper as the idea was there, but the execution just makes this book a bit of a boring, rambling mess with a few highlights that make me doubt his abilities as a writer and make me think of him more as a witty talking head.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Raven Smith (in the best way)
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Raven Smith’s writing is a breath of fresh air and he’s very good at putting tiny complex emotions into words, the sort of stuff you half understand when you feel it but reading it on paper feels like a mini revelation.

    While I ordered the book initially to laugh at the expense of straight men (Achieved), it’s also so much more than that and just reading a gay man’s experience of masculinity in both day to day life and a bit more existentially was v v refreshing.

    This is basically a massive opinion piece from a Vogue journalist so expect pop culture references, not text book references. If you buy this without doing your homework and are disappointed then you can’t really complain lol.

    Trivial Pursuits is by far the best book I’ve ever read and so I didn’t expect this to live up to that (to be honest it didn’t quite, but I don’t even care) - but I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Could only dream of being able to write like this

    This was one of the greatest books I’ve ever read! It’s witty, clever but also dark, whilst shining a light on important matters like mental health and sexism. Absolutely recommend this book to everyone!! Definitely a must buy!

    Whatever Raven writes, I will read (and enjoy). This book made me laugh out loud, just as his previous one did. Another fabulous book and also painfully and embarrassingly relatable in some parts. 10/10, recommend to all apart from my dad. Actually maybe even my dad.

    Raven is a lovely writer, and seems like a nice man. This reads like one of those long conversations you have with a new friend. He welcomes you in, opens up and helps you lose a few hours to some relatable and reassuring anecdotes. A nice book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars It was alright - would recommend reading
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I found the book quite funny in parts and as a gay man was often able to relate to stories in the book. I’m glad I read a book in which I could see aspects of my own life. I do, however, think it is essentially a series of questions being posed by the author, with no real sense of whether he’s managed to make a decision about what he thinks. I found that a little vapid. To an extent the questions he poses can’t be answered, can never really be closed off and the book works to provoke some kind of thought in the reader but I think at least a few conclusions would have been better. I think he needs a better proof reader, too. Overuse of the word “adjacent” as a suffix and of the word mastication. I would advise to read, it doesn’t take very long.
