PositiveArtsHubThere’s a quiet subversion in [Garner\'s subject] ... Examines masculinity with a similarly tender, unfiltered lens ... Not much happens in the traditional sense, but Garner’s knack for wringing meaning from the everyday keeps it compelling. It’s classic Garner actually: taut, observant prose, sprinkled with wry ‘nanna jokes’ and descriptions that bring the scenes to life.
RaveArtsHubThis exploration is sharp and unsentimental, with prose that is nimble and erudite, yet entirely unpretentious ... Isn’t for everyone. It’s shambolic, pragmatic, a touch angsty and its fragmented structure, along with the absence of a conventional narrative arc, may frustrate some readers. But for those who appreciate the elasticity of form and the generative tension between what we profess to believe and how we actually behave, this is a book you’ll carry – with you and within you – for a long time.
