"Male Confessions" examines how men open their intimate lives and
thoughts to the public through confessional writing. This book
examines writings--by St. Augustine, a Jewish ghetto policeman, an
imprisoned Nazi perpetrator, and a gay American theologian--that
reflect sincere attempts at introspective and retrospective
self-investigation, often triggered by some wounding or rupture and
followed by a transformative experience. Krondorfer takes seriously
the vulnerability exposed in male self-disclosure while offering a
critique of the religious and gendered rhetoric employed in such
discourse. The religious imagination, he argues, allows men to talk
about their intimate, flawed, and sinful selves without having to
condemn themselves or to fear self-erasure. Herein lies the
greatest promise of these confessions: by baring their souls to
judgment, these writers may also transcend their self-imprisonment.
