This month’s book from the Boston Gay Men’s Book Club is, The Male Gazed on Hunks, Heartthrobs, and What Pop Culture Taught Me About (Desiring) Men by Manuel Betancourt. The book addresses the concept of masculinity and how Manuel felt it eluded him growing up in Colombia. The New York Times described the book as “a smart, refreshing essay collection on the subject, and deals directly and honestly with the paradoxes surrounding the topic of men.” You can read the full book review by John Paul Brammer, here.
If you’d like to join the Boston Gay Men’s Book Club later this month they will meet to discuss the book at the Boston Public Library on Monday, October 30 at 6:15. Click on the link shared below to find out more.
The Boston Gay Men’s Book Club is a monthly book club that focuses on literature by and about gay men. I recently mentioned the group in my September post, Making friends in Boston LGBTQ social groups, and I wanted to give them another shout-out for anyone who may be interested in participating in this group’s monthly meet-ups.
