A review by kumipaul
The Descent of Man by Grayson Perry

2.0

A little disappointing for me. He seems to be trading on his relative fame in the British art world as a transvestite, and he didn't offer much of an academic perspective on anything. I also was drawn to the idea that this would be a humorous book, but I felt his humor was minimal and flat. He made the point that masculinity is toxic and needs to change, but by the end he was saying that masculinity is what it is and we should just accept it. The book was also part memoir and redundant, redundant. Barely getting an ok rating, and not recommendable.
