And in the end isn't that what we ask of a novel, that it be unforgettable?, 'Butler captures the rites and rhythms of young manhood in intimate, clear-eyed detail, shifting nimbly between multiple perspectives, several generations, and two wars overseas...a potent exploration of friendship, betrayal, and all the markers of masculinity that can't be measured by badges and trust falls.", Butler captures the rites and rhythms of young manhood in intimate, clear-eyed detail, shifting nimbly between multiple perspectives, several generations, and two wars overseas...a potent exploration of friendship, betrayal, and all the markers of masculinity that can't be measured by badges and trust falls., Across three generations and as many wars, this earnest novel explores the ways boys become men and how even flawed men may stand as models for the young...

Yet every time we're about to get too comfortable, he reminds us of his powerful talent to cause "the feels" when he lays tiny tragedies at our feet." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "A multi-layered, multi-generational mini-epic...Butler delves into a dark, Midwestern, middle-class suburban mentality in the same neighborhood as John Cheever's Shady Hill and Richard Yates's Revolutionary Hill Estates." -- USA Today "Across three generations and as many wars, this earnest novel explores the ways boys become men and how even flawed men may stand as models for the young...

Ryan Stradal, author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest "How Nickolas Butler spans the gaps across several generations of sons and fathers (and mothers) is nothing short of a marvel of storytelling...The Hearts of Men is full of pain, joy, longing, redemption, disappointment, and beauty--in short, all the qualities that distinguish the very best novels on our shelves." -- David Abrams, author of Fobbit "The Hearts of Men is a winning second novel, by turns wistful and wise, sad and funny, eminently readable, and always atmospheric. Without a doubt, Nickolas Butler is a young writer to watch." -- Jonathan Evison, author of West of Here and The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving "A wry, tender-hearted novel about men: their families and friendships, their vulnerabilities and foibles, their secrets and lies.

Synopsis
" A] tender, insightful book... Perfectly paced and leavened with humor, it's a wonderful read." -- People *SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 WILLIAM SAROYAN INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR WRITING* An epic novel of intertwining friendships and families set in the Northwoods of Wisconsin at a beloved Boy Scout summer camp--from the bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs Camp Chippewa, 1962. Nelson Doughty, age thirteen, social outcast and overachiever, is the Bugler, sounding the reveille proudly each morning. Yet this particular summer marks the beginning of an uncertain and tenuous friendship with a popular boy named Jonathan. Over the years, Nelson, irrevocably scarred from the Vietnam War, becomes Scoutmaster of Camp Chippewa, while Jonathan marries, divorces, and turns his father's business into a highly profitable company. And when something unthinkable happens at a camp get-together with Nelson as Scoutmaster and Jonathan's teenage grandson and daughter-in-law as campers, the aftermath demonstrates the depths--and the limits--of Nelson's selflessness and bravery. The Hearts of Men is a sweeping, panoramic novel about the slippery definitions of good and evil, family and fidelity, the challenges and rewards of lifelong friendships, the bounds of morality--and redemption., "[A] tender, insightful book...
