This article is an attempt to analyse the representation of masculinity in the novels of two black South African authors, namely Mpe and Duiker. It is significant that, although both provide us with an urban perspective on masculinity, in the case of Mpe the focus is on black heterosexuality, whereas Duiker writes about black homosexuality. Issues discussed are: What is masculinity? How is it constructed? Is there a revision or affirmation of stereotypes
