Rules for Being a Man:
- Don't cry
- Love sport
- Play rough
- Drink beer
- Don't talk about feelings
But Robert Webb has been wondering for some time now: are those rules
actually any use? To anyone?
Looking back over his life, from schoolboy crushes (on girls and boys)
to discovering the power of making people laugh (in the Cambridge
Footlights with David Mitchell), and from losing his beloved mother to
becoming a husband and father, Robert Webb considers the absurd
expectations boys and men have thrust upon them at every stage of life.
Hilarious and heartbreaking, How Not to Be a Boy explores the
relationships that made Robert who he is as a man, the lessons we learn
as sons and daughters, and the understanding that sometimes you aren't
the Luke Skywalker of your life - you're actually Darth Vader.
