Let's Fix Andy

Recommended by

  • Paul Donnelly: Let's Fix Andy

    These are four vividly drawn, deeply flawed, and ultimately compelling men engaged in the difficult rituals of preserving a long-term friendship. Their banter, their casual misogyny, their faltering attempts at real connection are all affected by the persistent undertow of a suicide. They are only able to reaffirm their bond by coming to accept themselves and each other. This is an extremely well-crafted and thought-provoking piece.

    An insightful look at male friendships and how what we need most is acceptance not alterations in the moment of struggle. Well done.
