Will Parks deve farsi uomo. Un uomo resiste. Un uomo combatte. Un uomo sanguina. Queste sono le prime lezioni che impari in una città dove le ragazze sono oggetti, le parole sono deboli e i pugni parlano. Will è più a suo agio in classe che in palestra e la donna più importante della sua vita è sua nonna. Quindi come può un ragazzo che si è sempre tirato indietro da una lotta diventare l'eroe che salva la situazione? Perché un disastro sta arrivando. Uno che Will può prevenire. Ma solo se impara la lezione più importante di tutte: a volte per fare un passo avanti, devi essere un uomo basso. Un'esplorazione bruciante e potente della mascolinità tossica, perfetta per i fan di Juno Dawson o They Both Die at the End. "Un territorio thriller elegante e stimolante... Altamente raccomandato" - The Irish Times "Incredibilmente bello... mi ha fatto pendere dalle nuvole' Louisa Reid, autrice di Wrecked e Lies Like Love 'I buoni libri ti fanno provare qualcosa. I grandi libri cambiano il modo in cui ti senti riguardo a tutto. Man Down è un grande libro. Nessuno sta scrivendo della vita dei giovani uomini con così tanto calore, empatia e umorismo come James in questo momento.' Samuel Pollen, autore di The Year I Didn't Eat 'Assolutamente avvincente, completamente originale e sarà senza dubbio uno dei libri più importanti del 2022. Una lettura assolutamente obbligatoria' - Adam Simcox, autore di The Dying Squad 'Un'eccellente analisi di cosa significhi "essere un uomo" in una cultura di pressione dei pari e mascolinità tossica, mentre si naviga tra desiderio e amicizia. L'ho adorato.' - Anna Stephens, autrice di Godblind 'Emotivamente complesso, oscuro e intelligente: un libro molto inaspettato, riflessivo e originale. Onestamente, non riesco a pensare a nessun altro YA come questo.' - Gina Blaxill, autrice di Saving Silence

James Goodhand lives in Surrey with his wife and young son. A mechanic by day, much of his work has been written at an oil-stained workbench whilst ignoring a queue of broken cars in need of his attention. James is also a keen musician, regularly gigging as a rhythm and blues pianist.
