Navigating life as a neurodivergent, non-binary person, Alex Manley explores their dislocations from the norm as part of a relentlessly personal journey, as seen through the variety of lenses that have defined them. Post-Man delves into the ways in which Manley has always felt apart, alone, and othered, the ways in which they felt there was something wrong with them. In adulthood they came to recognize they were someone with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and possibly more, someone who existed outside the neat binary of gender that modern society imposes on us. These facets of personality have been consistent and undeniable presences in the author''s life, slowly and ineluctably making their way to the surface. Post-Man takes the reader through the stultifying machismo of hockey culture, the thrilling rule-breaking of jaywalking, the improbable job of working for a men''s website, the strange unpleasantness of going bald as a non-binary person, and more, each essay digging down into the meat of these experiences in search for its beating heart.
