Opis

Kennedy Marr is a writer from the old school. Irish, sharp-tongued, acerbic, and a borderline alcoholic and sex-addict. He's living in LA and is close to rock bottom. Then, suddenly, a solution presents itself. Marr is to be the unlikely recipient of the W.F. Bingham Prize for Outstanding Contribution to Modern Literature - worth a million dollars. But the prize does not come without a price: he must spend a year teaching creative writing at the university where his ex-wife and estranged daughter now reside.

Recenzje

Straight White Male is a heartbreaker; a poignant literary treatise on the all-too-mortal battle between human individual desire and social need, disguised as a high-octane novel of laddish excess. Irvine Welsh
