Raven Smith: On the Magnetism of Masculinity
What is it about men that’s so intriguing? This is the question at the centre of Raven Smith’s Men. Often problematic, often privileged and always constant – still Smith can’t help but love them. Part memoir and part commentary, his book explores the strange and porous boundaries of masculinity and the dynamics of patriarchy. Join the Vogue columnist, Instagram sensation and author of the critical smash hit Raven Smith’s Trivial Pursuits for a thoroughly entertaining hour chaired by Kevin Guyan.
