The Reluctant Metrosexual

Dispatches from an Almost Hip LifeBy Peter HymanRecorded Track
Length6h 55m

About this audiobook

Read by the author, an essayist and stand-up comedian, this collection of hilarious essays is about a single guy attempting to live on the right side of hip. If Peter Hyman is a metrosexual, a straight man with gay tastes, then he is one reluctantly, being loath to hitch himself to an au courant cultural trend unless doing so would get him a movie deal or an actual girlfriend. Peter Hyman’s musings, more pop cultural than philosophical, range from the heartfelt to the absurd, whether he’s describing the scotch-soaked grief of a bad breakup or his unfortunate attempt at a ménage à trois. With sophistication and enviable wit, The Reluctant Metrosexual chronicles the promiscuity and perils of modern manhood.
