Description

Kennedy Marr, a novelist from the old school, is a man of unapologetic excess. His mantra is drink hard, write hard, and try to screw every woman he meets. But when he's awarded the W. F. Bingham Prize for Outstanding Contribution to Modern Literature, he's forced to confront the consequences of his actions. The prize comes with a price: a year teaching at a university, where his ex-wife and estranged daughter now reside. As Marr settles into the sleepy campus, he's forced to re-examine his lifestyle and consider the possibility that there may be more to him than he initially thought. A biting satire that explores the mid-life crisis and the contemporary male sexual psyche, Straight White Male is a thought-provoking and unflinching look at the darker side of masculinity.
