Carl Horner's study contributes significantly to our understanding of the fictional presentation of the American male and to our awareness of the complexity of the male corporate ideal.

- Sarah Gordon, Georgia College,

Horner writes with wit, fluent precision, sympathy and an impressive range of reference in this study, and his instances include not only literary works but clinical studies and anecdotal evidence from corporate 'survivors' themselves.
