Intimate confessionals on contemporary masculinity and neurodivergence from a non-binary perspective


In this divisive moment in the history of gender politics, Alex Manley navigates life as a neurodivergent non-binary person and explores their dislocations from the norm.

Post-Man delves into the ways in which Manley has always felt apart, alone, and othered--how they always felt there was something wrong with them. In adulthood they came to recognize that in addition to suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and possibly more, they understood themselves as existing outside the neat binary of gender that modern society imposes on us.


With this understanding of themself, Manley takes readers through the stultifying machismo of hockey culture, the improbable job of working for a men's website, the strange unpleasantness of going bald as a non-binary person, and more. Heart-wrenching and profound, Post-Man is a book that will make you reconsider your own perceptions of masculinity and manhood.

Alex Manley (they/them) is a non-binary writer, editor, translator and poet from and living in Montreal/Tiohtià ke. They are the author of We Are All Just Animals & Plants (Metatron Press) and The New Masculinity (ECW Press), as well as the English-language translator of Daphné B.'s Made-Up (Coach House Books).
