Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction
Shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize In this groundbreaking new
book, Thomas Page McBee, a trans man, trains to fight in a charity
match at Madison Square Garden while struggling to untangle the
vexed relationship between masculinity and violence. Through his
experience of boxing - learning to get hit, and to hit back;
wrestling with the camaraderie of the gym; confronting the
betrayals and strength of his own body - McBee examines the weight
of male violence, the pervasiveness of gender stereotypes and the
limitations of conventional masculinity. A wide-ranging exploration
of gender in our society, Amateur is ultimately a story of hope, as
McBee traces a way forward: a new masculinity, inside the ring and
out of it. A graceful and uncompromising exploration of living,
fighting and healing, in Amateur we gain insight into the
stereotypes and shifting realities of masculinity today through the
eyes of a new man.
