Sinossi
In una notte d’agosto, mentre Jane Pearson è in campeggio nei boschi insieme al marito e al figlio di cinque anni, d’improvviso tutti i maschi umani del mondo spariscono senza lasciare traccia. Jane, sconvolta e disperata, parte alla ricerca di Evangelyne, amica dai tempi dell’università, affascinante e carismatica, oggi leader politica in travolgente ascesa, a cui anni prima ha spezzato il cuore. E si ritrova così scaraventata in un mondo che cerca di riorganizzarsi, in bilico fra nuove possibilità utopiche e il lutto e il dolore che attanagliano le sopravvissute, mentre lei stessa deve affrontare anche i fantasmi del proprio passato. Intanto, in rete cominciano a girare strani filmati in cui gli uomini marciano come sonnambuli attraverso foreste spettrali popolate da bizzarre creature… Una presa in giro o una possibile chiave per il ritorno?
In questo romanzo stupefacente, commovente, scritto con ritmo e personalità inconfondibili, Sandra Newman tratta con maestria le questioni private e politiche più appassionanti – eros e famiglia, attaccamento e perdita, genere e violenza, identità e razzismo – e lo fa coinvolgendoci in un viaggio ai confini del loro stesso significato. Gli uomini – che sulla stampa internazionale ha generato un acceso dibattito – conferma Newman come un’autrice fra le più entusiasmanti e innovative dell’odierna letteratura di lingua inglese.

Recensioni
A particularly tedious and threadbare entry in the "Gender Apocalypse" subgenre, which has proven to be a dumping ground for nice liberal women who want to dabble in TERF-adjacent thought exercises without being publicly associated with the increasingly right-wing and violent movement. Thoroughly re Leggi tutto
I received an eArc of this book in exchange for an honest review, so yes I did read this book and you better believe these are my honest opinions. I first heard about the book from the author's twitter getting publicly dragged because the premise is transphobic. Now I am one of the like three people Leggi tutto
I just pre-ordered this book for $30. Why? Because of all the grossly unfair accusations of "transphobia" by Woke Zombies. Every time a female author is accused of being a TERF, I buy her book. Why? Because accusations of trans phobia are usually made by Handmaids & Misogynists, and directed at women wit Leggi tutto
I'm not sure that this novel entirely works. The ending definitely threw me. But it was so original and consistently interesting to read that I very much enjoyed it and will suggest it to other readers. On a summer night in a time not so far from our own, all over the planet, all the males (and anyon Leggi tutto
Horrible. Not only does the author not understand the fundamentals of genetics, but is using this ignorance as a shield for her blatant transphobia. She aspires to be the next Margaret Atwood, but ends up as a Great Value cross between JK Rowling and Abigail Shrier. The Jordan Peterson of woman auth Leggi tutto
I've marked the spoiler button for the sake of anyone who might genuinely want to subject themselves to this book, since my review is going to focus on the ending, specifically. There's a lot that could be said to damn this book, but there's already been a plurality of discussion on these points here Leggi tutto
Let's be honest, the premise to this sounds a bit whacky: over night, all humans with a y chromosome disappear and the world has to rearrange itself in the aftermath. If it's written by Sandra Newman though, this obviously shouldn't deter anyone. I had enough trust in her abilities to know that she
the amount of reviews of individuals who didn’t read it is immense. lots of sour grapes and bitterness in the comments. don’t judge this book by its reviews and give it a read yourself. stop letting others tell you what to think.
