It’s not really been done before. Maybe The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett would come close.

I like Andy Weir… he’s not necessarily writing about “men’s experiences”, but his main characters are usually men and I think he’s good at writing their inner dialogues!

I feel like if you go in the comments of most rec posts that doesn’t explicitly ask for female writers across books related subs you will mainly have books by men about men that are considered classics but I suppose this isn’t really the point of your post right?

Total grilling manual: 264 essentials for cooking with fire – Lisa Atwood (ignore the name)
I who have never known men – Jacqueline Harpman (title and author literally both have men and man in them)
The Man – Irving Wallace (no idea what its about but come on look at the title)
Middlemarch – George Eliot (one of my favourite male authors tbh)

Mmm… You could try some memoirs or biographies. I really liked *Born a Crime* by Trevor Noah, *An Ordinary Man* by Paul Rusesabagina, *On Writing* by Steven King, *Deaf Utopia* by Nyle DiMarco, *Blowing the Bloody Doors Off* by Michael Caine, and *Keep Moving* by Dick Van Dyke.
