About this title

Review:

"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

"A very funny novel...deliriously ambitious and richly satisfying"--Kirkus [Starred Review]

"The most loveable rogue since John Self in Money. Funny as hell and moving."--Ian Rankin

"Ferociously funny"--Publishers Weekly

"A sharp and knowing satire...thoroughly enjoyable."--The Guardian

"Thanks to Niven's talent the manopause has never been such fun"--The Telegraph

"Straight White Male is caustic and poignant, yet consistently, addictively funny...clever and joyous."---The Independent

"There's nothing faster, sadder or funnier than John Niven on men."--Caitlin Moran

"Deliciously hyperbolic, obscenely funny, unexpectedly affecting. Niven never, ever, pulls a punch.'--Rupert Thomson

"This is a writer who could wring laughs out of pretty well anything...hilarious."--The Times

"Outrageously funny...You won't be able to stop laughing"-- Timeout

"John Niven is probably the most exciting British writer working today and Straight White Male is addictive, biting, scathing, hilarious and true. I wish I'd never read it so I could read it all again.'--Danny Wallace

Book Description:

Another brilliant comic satire, but Niven's most accessible yet.
