"If you ask men if they spend any time hiding, they usually look at you as if you're nuts. 'What, me hide?' But if you ask women whether men hide, they immediately know what you mean." -- from Where Men Hide Where Men Hide is a spirited tour of the dark and often dirty places men go to find comfort, camaraderie, relaxation, and escape. Ken Ross's striking photographs and James Twitchell's lively analysis trace the evolution of these virtual caves, and question why they are rapidly disappearing.Ross documents both traditional and contemporary male haunts, such as bars, barbershops, lodges, pool halls, strip clubs, garages, deer camps, megachurches, the basement Barcalounger, and Twitchell examines their provenance, purpose, and appeal. He finds that for centuries men have met with each other in underground lairs and clubhouses to conduct business or, in the case of strip clubs and the modern rec room, to bond and indulge in shady entertainments. In these secret dens, certain rules are abandoned while others are obeyed. However, Twitchell sees this less as exclusionary behavior and more as the result of social anxiety: when women want to get together, they just do it; when men get together, it's a production.Drawing on literary, historical, and pop cultural sources, Twitchell connects the places men hide with figures like Hemingway and Huck Finn, Frederick Jackson Turner's theory of the American frontier, and the mythological interpretations of Joseph Campbell and Robert Bly. Instead of blaming the disappearance of the man-cave solely on feminism, simple fair play, or the demands of Title IX, Twitchell believes this evaporation is due as well to the rise of solitary pursuits such as driving, watching television, and playing videogames.By blending together anecdote, research, and keen observation, Ross and Twitchell bring this little-discussed and controversial phenomenon to light.

His Vivid Personal Accounts Of, Say, His Fascination With Saddam Hussein's Spider Hole Breathe Life Into What Could Have Been A Fusty Set Of Cliches. Twitchell Dissects Ross's Photos Of Male Insularity And Advertisements Reassuring Men They Can Get Away From It All. But In The End The Book Arrives At The Obvious Conclusion: Men Make Their Own Spaces For Good Or Ill, And These Spaces Are Changing. He Also Falls Into Sweeping Generalization (women Go To Convents To Do Good Work. Men Go To Monasteries To Get Away From Women). Still, He Is That Rare Thing In Cultural Studies, A Raconteur, And His Generalizations Are Sometimes Thought Provoking, As When He Discusses Why Men-only Groups Are A Selling Point Of Megachurches. For Men Who Like To Think About Manhood-but Not Too Hard-and Women Who Are Wondering What The Attraction Is Of That Grimy Garage, Twitchell Makes An Entertaining Companion.
