LENA DUNHAM A hilarious, smart and incredibly singular debut from
Raven Smith, whose exploration of the minutiae of everyday modern
life and culture is totally unique and painfully relatable. Is
being tall a social currency? Am I the contents of my fridge? Does
yoga matter if you're not filthy rich? Is a bagel four slices of
bread? Are three cigarettes a meal? From IKEA meatballs to
minibreaks, join Raven Smith as he reflects on the importance we
place in the least important things and our frivolous attempts to
accomplish and attain. He also tackles his single-parent
upbringing, his struggles as a lonely teenager and his personal
experience of coming out. Packed with brilliant humour, great
tenderness and lingering pathos, Raven Smith's Trivial Pursuits is
a book for anyone who has ever asked 'when I get to the pearly
gates of heaven, will a viral tweet count for or against my entry?'
'A brilliant writer.' Russell Tovey ‘Thoroughly entertaining.’
OTEGHA UWAGBA ‘Funny and beautifully revealing.’ BELLA MACKIE
‘Wise, sharp and naughty.’ THE OBSERVER ‘Herein lie the men
of Raven Smith. Each of them has left a mark, a memory, a stain,
whether they meant to or not. Some hit deep, and I caught feels.
Some I discarded like a clip-on neck tie’ From the Sunday Times
bestselling author of Raven Smith’s Trivial Pursuits, comes a pin
sharp, hilarious and incisive exploration of what it means to be a
man in the modern day. This book is about men because, in an
annoying way, everything is. Funny men, tall men, charming men.
Stepdads, actual dads and ripped ‘sports dads’. Raven Smith has
been trying to distil what it is about men that has kept him
intrigued his whole life. Part memoir, part exploration of the
peculiar dynamics and amorphous boundaries of masculinity, Raven
looks unflinchingly at his own history, offering a cautious
reverence of a life lived in parallel with other men. Blending the
personal, the primal and the perennial, these are Raven Smith’s
men in all their infuriating, labyrinthine complexity.
