Employing a sort of leaping or mosaic structure and incorporating e-mails re penis-enlargement, questionable limericks, jokes, graffiti and a photo of a "penis latte," along with personal anecdote and probes of books and films, Deep Too is a book of non-fiction stories. It is a funny and sometimes biting book about the phenomenon of male strut and competition. Thinking with feeling, the author posits an expansive masculinity that rises above stereotype, traditional roles and the either/or choices they so often involve.
Always clever and funny, Dragland’s is a uniquely a confidential voice—by turns inclusive and teasing—leaning over at the bar to let you in on the joke, a secret, the back story, an observation. The jest of insight is his mode and his metier and it is well worth listening. This is an intimate, perceptive and surprising little book.
