To Be a Man: Stories is a collection of short stories by the American author Nicole Krauss and published in 2020 by Harper Collins (in the United States) and Bloomsbury Publishing (in the United Kingdom).

Publishers Weekly described it as "a spectacular book" and said "Krauss’s style is marked by a willingness to digress into seemingly superfluous details, yet the minutiae helps the author conjure a series of realistic environments, allowing each story feel lived in".[1] Cleveland Review of Books said the collection "will no doubt cement Krauss’s reputation as not only one of the prominent novelists of our time, but one of its most accomplished writers across forms."[2]
