Abstract
Below, I provide a brief outline of each of the men whose narratives feature significantly in this book. Their individual stories provided inspiration for the idea that popular culture is an important discourse in our lives, shaping understanding of ourselves, as well as how others see us. In the complex process of authoring and re-authoring their lives some of the men requested that their nicknames or actual names were used.
