Men Talk

"Men Talk draws on rich conversational material from a wide range of contexts to answer these questions and illuminate our understanding of men and masculinities at the turn of the millennium. Coates examines spontaneous conversations involving all-male groups, ranging from garage mechanics on a break and carpenters at the pub after work, to university academics chatting at work after hours, as well as a variety of mixed groups. The focus of the book is the stories that occur within these conversations."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: What is men's talk like? If the stereotypes are to be believed, men either don,t talk much (strong and silent) or talk compulsively and competitively about sports, cars and drinking exploits.
