A review by javinki_
The Descent of Man by Grayson Perry
3.0
Not gonna lie, it's been so long since I finished reading this that I can't actually remember what I wanted to say in this review. I'm pretty sure some / all / a few of these are correct, though:
1. I was surprised that Grayson Perry was straight
2. The book seems pretty aimed at straight men
(Javi, some people are straight. Get over it. -Ed.)
3. The division of his arguments into the four categories seemed like a great idea in theory but felt quite muddled in practice - I literally cannot remember what any of the categories were because of how much overlap there was between each section
4. As someone who uses Capital Letters in Everyday Writing for Emphasis, I wasn't always the biggest fan of the Names he gave different categories of men (this is purely from a poetic point of view though lol)
5. That said, I did enjoy reading it, and I liked how focused it was on moving forwards / towards the future - it was less 'this is how X problem has existed in the past' and more 'this is how X problem might be solved in the future'
6. Haha funny doodle drawings :) art!
Apologies for the absolute state of a review - if you made it this far, you're a real fan, I see you, and I love you <3
