Genuine, vigorous, hard-hitting, funny, unputdownable.
These are the five words that epitomize the 218,000 words in the new (June 2025) novel named Beavershot: an unexpurgated novel.
The author — who calls himself (or herself or theyself) G. Emmet Beaver — says that this is the second work in a planned trilogy, with volumes 1 and 3 coming in the near future.
Stepping back: It was July 21, in year 1855 when the grandfather of American literature, Ralph Waldo Emerson, wrote a letter of praise and appreciation to an unknown poet named Walter Whitman, who had just mailed him a copy of his self-published book. Emerson said:
“I am very happy in reading it, as great power makes us happy. … I greet you at the beginning of a great career, which yet must have had a long foreground somewhere, for such a start. I rubbed my eyes a little, to see if this sunbeam were no illusion; but the solid sense of the book is a sober certainty. It has the best merits, namely, of fortifying and encouraging.”
Let me be the very first to congratulate Mr./Ms. Beaver at the beginning of a great career.
If you are eager to consume more of the same formula fiction — a red-hot romantasy, or genre-bending erotica, or spies chasing spies, or a Christie mystery, or horripilating horror — you will not find that here. Instead you will echo the title of Monty Python’s first film: “And now for something completely different.”
Open the book Beavershot and you will discover the story of a real man, facing his life with the raw honesty and pretty-good integrity that is so rare to discover in the lives we meet and in the books we read.
Coming in November 2025 is the nonfiction book by author-professor Scott Galloway, titled “Notes on Being a Man”. The book is described as an exploration of what it means to be a man in modern America, promoting healthy masculinity and mental strength.
Beavershot has wrapped the essence of these ideas in the form of a novel, which not only educates but entertains us as we read. A remarkable love story is included, and also what the author calls “Extra Bonus Coverage” which is his/her/they dark-humored cosmic reflections about the mysteries of life.
In a world suffering from a pandemic of toxic masculinity, here at long last is a novel that can cut through the noise, restore the balance, and give us the refreshing self-awareness we all so desperately seek.
