Sea State: A Memoir
Tabitha LasleySea State: A Memoir by Tabitha Lasley might be my favourite book. An incredible writing style, muscular, forceful. She's one of the few writers who is genuinely interested in masculinity and so when she notes men's failings in the 21st century, it's that much more devastating. https://t.co/ZdjnKnJLY4
