Can I Have My Ball Back?: A memoir of masculinity, mortality and my right testicle

Product Information

His honesty stretches from describing the very male reluctance to have the anomaly he spotted seen to (even though he was once part of a campaign encouraging men to do just that) to a form of survivors’ guilt that he got off lightly from his scrape with cancer compared to others.

But it was embarrassing and weird, and if there was something wrong, he didn't want to know about it. For far from being a death sentence, testicular cancer has a 98 per cent survival rate – a statistic Herring wishes he’d known from the start – and his chemotherapy was a minor inconvenience rather than a life-changing upheaval. Remember you can always share any sound with your friends on social media and other apps or upload your own sound clip.

The comic is also prone to going off on tangents – no surprise if you’re aware of his work online – and describes in some detail the monumental futility of his quest to clear a field near him of every last stone (and manages to get the reader invested in that activity) or the discordant jingle of a advert for reclining chairs.

These sections are similar in tone to Talking Cock, in mocking the mythology around the testicles – as well as containing more elaborate euphemisms for the love spuds than you’ll find outside Roger’s Profanisaurus. Telling Rich’s personal story alongside an exploration of what defines masculinity and ‘maleness’ in society, Can I Have My Ball Back?

Most men's testicles are about the same size, but it's common for one to be slightly bigger than the other.

A family claim their nightmare neighbour hated their fence so much she tried to tear it down - even though they'd done nothing wrong.

Telling Rich's personal story alongside an exploration of what defines masculinity and 'maleness' in society, Can I Have My Ball Back?Anyone going through similar experiences – of the cancer treatment, that is, not visualisation of a wife’s future seducer – is likely to find both solace and comic relief in the frankness and wit of Herring’s descriptions.
