The second novel by Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Michelle Winters teems with hot towel shaves and the steady thrum of female rage.

Spurred by adolescent trauma, Louise adopts a life of hardcore punk violence until she stumbles into a job at a mysterious men's hair salon, where her unique relationship with her clientele shows her a more perfect world-or so it seems. When that world is overturned, she flees to a marina on the East Coast, where she lives free from reminders of her past-except the duffle-bagged ones she jettisons nightly in a forsaken cove. But on the day of the Tragically Hip's 2016 farewell performance in Kingston, a man surfaces from the Bay of Fundy, rousing long-dormant urges and giving Louise an unexpected gift: the chance to make things right.

Funny, warm, and furious,Hair for Menis a subversive exploration of gender, forgiveness, and chucking convention.

Reviews for Hair for Men: A Novel

""Revolutionary cuts and gendered introspection ... Hair for Men is a reassuring, funny, sometimes tragic read that reminds us possibilities exist for as long as we do."" -- Chicago Review of Books ""Dark, comic, strangely endearing."" -- The Miramichi Reader
