520    "From an award-winning writer whose work bristles with 
       "hard-won strength, insight, agility, and love" (Maggie 
       Nelson), an exquisite and troubling narrative of 
       masculinity, violence, and society. In this groundbreaking
       new book, the author, 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 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 new way forward, a new kind of 
       masculinity, inside the ring and outside of it. In this 
       graceful, stunning, and uncompromising exploration of 
       living, fighting, and healing, we gain insight into the 
       stereotypes and shifting realities of masculinity today 
       through the eyes of a new man"--|cProvided by publisher
