Despite the availability of several eloquent gender studies of fairy tales, a popular reference on men and fairy tales has so far been nonexistent. Brothers and Beasts offers a new perspective by allowing twentythree male writers the chance to explore their artistic and emotional relationship to their favorite fairytale stories. In their personal essays, the contributorswho include genre, literary, mainstream, and visual media writersoffer new insight into men's reception of fairy tales. Brothers and Beasts, the followup to Kate Bernheimer's influential Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Women Writers Explore Their Favorite Fairy Tales, offers new avenues for research in fairytale studies.Bernheimer has invited many wellknown writers to contribute to this volume, from Gregory Maguire, whose acclaimed titles include Wicked, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and Son of a Witch, to Robert Coover, one of the premier authors of postmodern fiction, to Neil Gaiman, a wellknown fantasy fiction writer and author of graphic novels. With a foreword by Maria Tatar and an afterword by Jack Zipes, the intimate and contemplative essays are framed by insight from two leading fairytale studies scholars.Brothers and Beasts proves that men are deeply influenced by the childhood reading of fairy tales, despite the fact that these fantastic and memorable tales are often mistakenly considered to be the domain of women readers and writers. Students and teachers of fairytale and gender studies along with readers of contemporary literature will enjoy this accessible and intriguing volume.
