Reviews

An eloquent and witty tour guide through the fun house that is masculinity ... He's just the man for the job
*The New York Times*

A funny, engaging, and at times penetrating trek through the tricky landscape of contemporary masculinity ... [Perry is] a cultural luminary
*NPR*

Pithy and insightful ... The Descent of Man fits into the tradition of the 18th-century treatise, a plea for a new, enlightened social order in the manner of Mary Wollstonecraft or William Hazlitt
*The Atlantic*

A joy to read
*Financial Times*

[Perry] is thoroughly engaging and charismatic ... His personality shines through
*The Times*

GRAYSON PERRY FOR KING AND QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Imagine how BRILLIANT our country would look if he was.
*Caitlin Moran*

Thoughtful, clearly written and a joy to read
*Evening Standard*

A fabulous book
*Victoria Hislop*

With its non-macho slender girth and personal, engaging approach, [The Descent of Man] is a breeze of a read, and one that makes you see our male-manufactured world a little differently ... Grayson Perry has written the very book I wanted to write
*Guardian*
