Book excerpt: Short stories by an author who offers “shrewd, bitingly funny commentary on his own privileged class” (Time). In nine stories that move between nouveau riche Los Angeles and the working class East Coast, and strike a balance between comedy and catastrophe, Kevin Morris explores the vicissitudes of modern life. Whether looking for creative ways to let off steam after a day in court or enduring chaperone duties on a school field trip to the nation’s capital, the heroes of White Man’s Problems struggle to navigate the challenges that accompany marriage, family, success, failure, growing up, and getting older. “Kevin Morris is that rare writer who bridges the class divide, illuminating the lives of working class characters and affluent professionals with equal authenticity and insight. White Man’s Problems is a revelatory collection that marks the arrival of striking new voice in American fiction.” —Tom Perrotta “The echoes here are of a former generation of American writers—John Cheever, John Updike, Raymond Carver.” —USA Today “Life undermines the pursuit of success and status in these rich, bewildering stories . . . A finely wrought and mordantly funny take on a modern predicament by a new writer with loads of talent.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: Praise for White Man's Problems: “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, screenwriter of Forrest Gump, The Insider, Munich, The Good Shepherd, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button “In White Man's Problems, Kevin Morris takes us on an unforgettable tour of the American male psyche. Writing with wit, honesty, and incredible range, he illuminates the lives of lovestruck teenagers, hapless South Philly hoods, depraved Los Angeles attorneys, ex-jocks turned banking wizards, and host of other characters who have risen from their working class backgrounds only to find themselves undone by the trappings of success. These brutal and heartfelt stories will knock you out.” -- Jim Gavin, author of Middle Men “Wonderful group of stories by Kevin Morris. Buy this and you will love it.”-- Gus Van Sant, filmmaker, artist, author White Man's Problems is a collection of nine stories about nine completely different guys. Funny, sad, and right on the money, these are glimpses of characters whose outward success masks inner turmoil that complicates their lives and often baffles those around them. Stories such as “Mulligan's Travels,” about an LA banker's uncelebrated return home from New York, and "White Man's Problems," the comedic chronicle of a dubious father on a school trip to Washington, DC, exemplify Kevin Morris's poignant, clever, and entirely entertaining style. Males of all ages are confronted with difficulties—some subtle, some stark—which, as the saying goes, would appear to belong only to them. White Man's Problems will engage you with real characters, real humor, and sharp moments of truth.

Book Synopsis White Man's Problems by : Kevin Morris

Download or read book White Man's Problems written by Kevin Morris. This book was released on 2014-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nine dazzling stories bouncing between nouveau riche Los Angeles and the working-class East Coast, Kevin Morris explores the vicissitudes of modern life. His characters self-consciously grapple with both technology and postmodern cynicism, struggling to sort out the problems that attend marriage, family, success, failure, growing up, and getting older but not necessarily wiser. Whether looking for creative ways to let off steam after a day in court or enduring chaperone duties on a school field trip to the nation's capital, these average men are simultaneously nothing special and the heroes of their own ordinary lives. The themes of these perceptive, wry and sometimes humorous tales pose philosophical questions about conformity and class, duplicity and decency, and the actions and meaning of an average guy's life. Morris's confident debut strikes the perfect balance between comedy and catastrophe - and introduces a virtuosic new voice in American fiction.
