Literary Guise: A Book Club for Modern Men
A book club where we (those who identify as men and those who want to understand men better) review great works of literature and discuss what they have to say about masculine archetypes. We are two life-long friends, one straight, one gay; a writer, and a doctor of computer science and philosophy, who have vastly different ideas of what it means to be a man. We’re here to take a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly and to grow along the way.

The unconventional typographical choices, odd plotting, hyper-violence, and deep life philosophy inherent in its pages are all covered in this episode (along with a behind the scenes peek at which members of the podcast have mustaches and which among us have a deep appreciation for the startlingly homo-romantic Zegna commercials starring Javier Bardem and Dev Patel)
