To give you a vague idea of what to expect, here is what David Granger, the editor-in-chief of Esquire, had to say about the theme of the Fiction for Men stories:

Via NY Times: "His definition of men’s fiction? Work that is 'plot-driven and exciting, where one thing happens after another,' he said. 'And also at the same time, dealing with passages in a man’s life that seem common.' "
