STRAIGHT WHITE MALE
Book ID/图书代码： 03277013B62498
English Summary/英文概要： 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.
He’s writing film scripts in LA, fucking, 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, he’s 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 Britain’s sharpest writers.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 肯尼迪•马尔是一名旧学院派小说家。他是一名尖刻的爱尔兰人、时而清醒时而宿醉的酗酒者，并且沉迷于性爱，他的人生宗旨便是尽情的喝酒、尽情的写作并和每一个他所遇见的女人发生关系。
他住在洛杉矶，从事着电影剧本的创作工作，做爱、喝酒和辱骂是他在加尼福尼亚社会的生存方式，但他也同样因此承受了诸多来自于作家们的联合阻挠并有许多待交税款。然而一夕之间好运就此降临---马尔出人意料地成了W•F•宾汉姆奖现代文学突出贡献奖的获奖者，而该奖项价值50万英镑。然而这一奖项的获得背后也有着代价：马尔必须在大学中执教一年，而这所学校也正巧是他前妻以及关系疏远的女儿如今居住的地方。
肯尼迪努力地适应着昏昏欲睡的校园环境，一方面他的出现激起了一股强烈的反感，但另一方面他的身后也出现了一批狂热的崇拜者，肯尼迪不得不重新评估他目前极不安定的生活方式。也许会令人感觉难以相信，但肯尼迪觉得自己自鸣得意、孤芳自赏、充满阳刚之气且略带一丝反社会倾向的内心深处，或许真的有一名好父亲和好老师在蠢蠢欲动。
《率直的白人男子》一书毫无畏惧的反观了所谓中年危机和当代男性的性心理，是一部全新且极为巧妙的讥讽之作，来自于英国当代最为犀利的小说家之一。（DC）
