I love nonfiction of all stripes, but Pretty Boys has to be one of the most fun nonfiction reads I’ve ever had! Highlighting men who moved beyond the ‘norm’, the ‘traditional’, and traditional ‘masculine expectations’, this book covers the entire known history of man and how they have bucked stereotypes from the start. From ancient emperors to Vikings to 80s club kids to modern icons of style such as Harry Styles and Billy Porter, this book gives context to the concept of gender-bending within each of their time periods, how-tos on style, and their place in history. There are illustrations, jokes, and trivia, and the entire thing is a joy! Luckily, this book took a close look at some of my all time favorites including David Bowie, Jonathan van Ness, and several K-Pop stars. It was great to have both the modern and historical contexts for these pioneering men!
