Straight White Male
Straight White Male | John Niven

Irish novelist Kennedy Marr is a first rate bad boy. When he is not earning a fortune as one of Hollywoods most sought after script writers, he is drinking, insulting and philandering his way through LA, successfully debunking the myth that men are unable to multitask. He is loved by many women, but loathed by even more including ex-wives on both sides of the pond. Kennedys appetite for trouble is insatiable, but when he discovers that he owes 1.4 million dollars in back taxes, it seems his outrageous, hedonistic lifestyle may not be as sustainable as he thought. Forced to accept a teaching position at sleepy Deeping University, where his ex-wife and teenaged daughter now reside, Kennedy returns to England with a paper trail of tabloid headlines and scorned starlets hot on his bespoke heels. However, as he acclimatizes to the quaint campus Kennedy is forced to reconsider his laddish lifestyle. Incredible as it may seem, there might actually be a father and a teacher lurking inside this preening, narcissistic, priapic sociopath. STRAIGHT WHITE MALE is a wildly funny and whip smart tale of Kennedys transatlantic misadventures. Its an uninhibited and heartfelt look at the mid-life crisis of a lovable rogue.

Mehso-so

Leggendo questo libro si intravedono i pensieri di una persona spesso ubriaca, molto ricca e in conflitto con se stessa. Questo percorso per il protagonista è un arrivo al senso di vivere, al proprio scopo nella vita ed apprezzare ciò che ha vicino.
A tratti ho trovato questo libro lento, un po' noioso, barcollando tra pensieri di vario tipo, interessante comunque il punto di vista, il finale non mi ha entusiasmato particolarmente.
