Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Namby Pamby Land traces the historical obsession with defining and defending manhood across three millennia. Hubbard Sellers catalogs the ridiculous standards men have imposed on one another, noting that the term "namby-pamby" began as an eighteenth-century book review of toddler poetry.The narrative examines how the fiercest historical figures defied modern macho standards: Achilles hid in a dress, the undefeated Sacred Band of Thebes consisted of 150 male couples, and Louis XIV ruled Europe in red high heels. Sellers argues that the "crisis of masculinity" is an artificial business model that has been continuously resold to men since 1857.Ultimately, this comedic field report investigates the heavy psychological toll of masculine silence and the historical refusal to ask for help.
