Reviews
"A valuable resource for those interested in masculinity in US culture as well as scholars of Kubrick and film generally. High recommended.-- ""Choice"" Kubrick's Men is a bold, original, and richly textured study of one of the twentieth century's most important and influential filmmakers. With astonishing detail, Rambuss traces Kubrick's preoccupation with masculinities on the verge of coming undone. ---Robert J. Corber, author of Cold War Femme: Lesbianism, National Identity, and Hollywood Cinema I devoured these pages. With Kubrick's Men we discover a full and impressive display of Rambuss's multidimensional and natural erudition. This masterful blend of the learned and the popular brings Kubrick's male characters alive in novel, enlightening, and even dangerous ways. To read this work is to watch anew a master artist of the twentieth century.---Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead"

I devoured these pages. With Kubrick's Men we discover a full and impressive display of Rambuss's multidimensional and natural erudition. This masterful blend of the learned and the popular brings Kubrick's male characters alive in novel, enlightening, and even dangerous ways. I had not really known Kubrick until Rambuss articulated this intimate introduction to Kubrick's men. To read this work is to watch anew a master artist of the 20th Century. And, on top of all that, the book represents the finest stylings of contemporary scholarship: dazzling thinking and writing that is accessible, ambitious, and fierce. Read it.--Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead Kubrick's Men is a bold, original, and richly textured study of one of the twentieth century's most important and influential filmmakers, Stanley Kubrick. With astonishing detail, Rick Rambuss traces Kubrick's preoccupation with masculinities on the verge of coming undone, starting with his work as a photographer for Look in the early 1950s. Rambuss's excavation of the homosexual trace in Kubrick's films is in particular a tour de force of queer critique. Equally stunning is his discussion of masculinity in the war film in general, a discussion that will be widely influential.--Robert J. Corber, William R Kenan Jr. Professor of American Institutions and Values, Trinity College
