For Jeff Kass, the term "knuckleheads" is neither an insult nor a term of endearment, but something in between--a boy who wants to become a man but stumbles along the path to getting there; a man who can't forget his boyhood and wants to understand why he can't let it go; a male searching, somehow, with an unquenchable sense of dumb hope, for something he can't quite get his hands on.
These ten stories are populated by wrestlers, ballplayers, comic book worshipers, bench-pressers, struggling fathers, husbands, mentors and lovers--knuckleheads all, wanting vaguely to be better than they are, unsure how to navigate the tricky world of females, unsure how to navigate themselves but trying, trying to find their way.
