{"product_id":"straight-white-male-9780434022861","title":"Straight White Male","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnother brilliant comic sature  but Nivens most accessible yet.  Kennedy Marr is a novelist from the old school. Irish  acerbic  and a borderline alcoholic and sex-addict  his mantra is drink hard  write hard and try to screw every woman you meet.  Hes writing film scripts in LA  screwing  drinking and insulting his way through Californian society  but also suffering from writers block and unpaid taxes. Then a solution presents itself -- Marr is to be the unlikely recipient of the W. F. Bingham Prize for Outstanding Contribution to Modern Literature  an award worth half a million pounds. But it does not come without a price: he must spend a year teaching at the English University where his ex-wife and estranged daughter now reside.  As Kennedy acclimatises to the sleepy campus  inspiring revulsion and worship in equal measure  hes forced to reconsider his precarious lifestyle. Incredible as it may seem  there might actually be a father and a teacher lurking inside this preening  narcissistic  priapic  sociopath. Or is there...  Straight White Male is a no-holds-barred look into the mid-life crisis and the contemporary male sexual psyche. It is a brilliant new satire from one of Britains sharpest writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789708288053,"sku":"ByrdShop_0434022861","price":64.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780434022861.jpg?v=1784695489","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/straight-white-male-9780434022861","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
