Literary novels that explore crises of masculinity. Particularly interested in outsiders, weirdos, and capitalist alienation in books where the self is in conflict with the masculine ideal, the masculine ideal itself is in flux, or the masculine ideal has been rendered obsolete. Protagonists must be men, they can be criminals or saints, sympathetic or malicious, angry or sad. Veering more towards novels published recently/post-WW2.
