AMONG THE BROS by Max Marshal received a stellar review from Air Mail. Reviewer Sarah Weinman writes: “There’s a jauntiness to Marshall’s voice that makes AMONG THE BROS a contradictory reading experience: it’s entertaining, in the way that reminded me of a certain type of magazine journalism that largely died out in the past decade. His decision to present many of his interviews in oral-history style generally works, too. But because the story Marshall tells is marinated in the toxicity of being a young man in contemporary America, particularly one where access to whatever you want without real consequence produces even greater dissonance, there’s a jarring quality overall… AMONG THE BROS is a sobering tour of the mindset of such men and how even when the party curdles into violence, drug dealing, and murder, it doesn’t really stop.” Marshall also appeared on Good Day LA to discuss “[t]he grim realities of ‘Frat Bro Culture.’” Harper published the book on November 7, 2023.
