Queer Reads: ‘Swole’ by Michael Andor Brodeur examines beef and brawn through a queer lens

Fueled by a lifelong curiosity about masculinity and a passion for bodybuilding, debut author Michael Andor Brodeur, a classical music critic at The Washington Post, gives a wholly unique work that includes a history of the gym, examines the politics of superheroes, and much more. Swole: The Making of Men and the Meaning of Muscle views masculinity through a queer Gen-X lens and concludes by considering our unaddressed male mental health crisis, fueled by the parasocial pull of online cultures. The book hit stands on Tuesday.

Washington, officially the State of Washington, is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Named for George Washington, the first U.S. president, the state was made out of the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by the British Empire in 1846, in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. The state, which is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, and the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north, was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889.
