THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - Robert Webb´s part-memoir, part call-to-arms

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Robert Webb tried to follow the rules for being a man:
Don´t cry
Drink beer
Play rough
Don´t talk about feelings

Looking back over his life he asks whether these rules are actually any use. To anyone.

Quite simply brilliant. I (genuinely) cried. I (genuinely) laughed out loud. It´s profound, touching, personal yet universal . . . I loved it J.K. ROWLING

Robert Webb has been a male for his whole life. As such, he has been a boy in a world of fighting, pointless posturing, and the insistence that he stop crying. As an adult man, he has enjoyed better luck, both in his work as the Webb half of Mitchell & Webb in the Sony award-winning That Mitchell & Webb Sound and the Bafta award-winning That Mitchell & Webb Look, and as permanent man-boy Jeremy in the acclaimed Peep Show. He also played Bertie Wooster in the acclaimed West End run of Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense. Robert has been a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and the New Statesman, and now lives in London with his wife and daughters, where he continues trying to be funny and to fumble beyond general expectations of manhood.
