Insightful New Novel Offers a Timely Exploration of Modern Manhood

By: Robert Diamond Mar. 13, 2019

Part travel narrative and part roman à clef, “Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey” (published by Archway Publishing) by Eytan Uliel follows four regular guys on an international, adventure-packed, humor-filled search for meaning and purpose.

Beginning while the four friends are in college, “Man Mission” takes on the friend’s annual adventure trip, visiting 15 different exotic locations across 15 years. Along the way, from their 20s into their 40s, the characters also experience major life events, growing through relationships, marriage, family, aging, and work and life choices. The narrative explores the men’s journey of growth, and their emotional awakening in a world where the traditional rules of “being a man” are no longer clear.

“I want readers to firstly enjoy reading the book and enjoy the story it tells - I have written the book to be accessible and easy to read, set in exotic locations with lots of adventure,” Uliel says. “But also by the end of the book I want it to provoke thought and reflection in the reader - with the current #metoo spotlight on men and how we behave, this is a book with a message.”

“Man Mission” is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Mission-Fifteen-Years-Journey/dp/1480862916.
