A baby boomer and renowned historian of modern popular culture, Gary Cross explains the dramatic decline of male maturity in recent decades. Men today delay marriage and responsibility deep into their twenties and thirties, preferring instead to hold fast to the pleasures of youth. Instead of blaming the young or glorifying the past, Cross carefully studies the attitudes and cultures of three generations of men, linking their gradual rebellion against maturity to parallel shifts in American advertising, popular culture, and consumerism.

"It is hard to imagine a more comprehensive cultural treatment of this subject. Gary Cross provides a convincing narrative of the fragility of male adulthood and how 'becoming a man' has been fraught with difficulties in every generation." -- Howard P. Chudacoff, Brown University, and author of Children at Play: An American History
