Synopsis
“These brutal and heartfelt stories will knock you out.”*
“Kevin Morris’s voice is Updike and Cheever and Carver, chilly streets, basketball courts, backyard swimming pools … they would welcome their new neighbor … so will you.”
— Eric Roth, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Forrest Gump
“True to the title, the heroes of Morris’ first volume of fiction try to figure out the conundrums of love, career and family at every stage of the white male life cycle … A superb literary gallery of men who can’t understand why life has given them what they want by a new writer with loads of talent.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Kevin Morris takes us on an unforgettable tour of the American male psyche. He illuminates the lives of love struck teenagers, depraved Los Angeles lawyers, ex-jocks turned banking wizards, and others who have risen from working class backgrounds only to find themselves undone by the trappings of success.”
— Jim Gavin, author of Middle Men*
“ These clear-eyed morality tales showcase lightheartedness and angst in equal measure. In nine contemporary stories bouncing between nouveau riche Los Angeles and the working-class East Coast, Kevin Morris explores the gray areas of modern life … White man’s problems these may be, but Morris’s themes feel universal in scope.”
— Foreword Reviews (5 out of 5 Stars)
