GRAYSON PERRY FOR KING AND QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Imagine how BRILLIANT our country would look if he was.
Caitlin Moran
A joy to read
William Leith, Financial Times
With its non-macho slender girth and personal, engaging approach, [The Descent of Man] is a breeze of a read, and one that makes you see our male-manufactured world a little differently ... Grayson Perry has written the very book I wanted to write
Matt Haig, Guardian
[Perry] is thoroughly engaging and charismatic ... His personality shines through
Clive Davis, The Times
A fabulous book
Victoria Hislop
Thoughtful, clearly written and a joy to read
Evening Standard
Pithy and insightful ... The Descent of Man fits into the tradition of the 18th-century treatise, a plea for a new, enlightened social order in the manner of Mary Wollstonecraft or William Hazlitt
Sophie Gilbert,, The Atlantic
An eloquent and witty tour guide through the fun house that is masculinity ... He's just the man for the job
Dwight Garner, Books of the Times, The New York Times
A funny, engaging, and at times penetrating trek through the tricky landscape of contemporary masculinity ... [Perry is] a cultural luminary
Jason Heller, NPR
