"A valuable resource for those interested in masculinity in US culture as well as scholars of Kubrick and film generally. High recommended.-- ""Choice"" Kubrick's Men is a bold, original, and richly textured study of one of the twentieth century's most important and influential filmmakers. With astonishing detail, Rambuss traces Kubrick's preoccupation with masculinities on the verge of coming undone. ---Robert J. Corber, author of Cold War Femme: Lesbianism, National Identity, and Hollywood Cinema I devoured these pages. With Kubrick's Men we discover a full and impressive display of Rambuss's multidimensional and natural erudition. This masterful blend of the learned and the popular brings Kubrick's male characters alive in novel, enlightening, and even dangerous ways. To read this work is to watch anew a master artist of the twentieth century.---Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead"
