“MEN Speak the Unspeakable”
By Michael Elias and Edward Seeker
A frank and enlightening book that gives a voice to the dark side of the male psyche. Ed (English, middle-class bisexual dad) and Mickey (straight ex-Catholic and ex-refugee) break through the walls of taboo, secrets and lies about childhood trauma, sexuality, best mates, broken hearts, money and male misery. “MEN Speak the Unspeakable” challenges childhood perceptions, parenting, puberty, peckers, prejudice and politics in all its guises, with groundbreaking transcripts from frank conversations over a fourteen month period, that plots Ed’s and Mickey’s transformation from lost boys to self-respecting men, with the truth setting them free!
This book contains stuff that a lot of men don’t talk about (those that do never admit it) and women will get an insight that they never bargained for.
