This book dares to suggest that even as his subjects struggle—and sometimes fail—there is also occasion for hope. At turns heart wrenching and uplifting, American Men showcases Conn's remarkable gifts as a storyteller, and as a man.' -- Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us, and (with Jodi Picoult) Mad Honey
