{"product_id":"whites-stories-9781644452905","title":"Whites: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe excoriating stories in Mark Doten's brilliant first collection dissect the pathological narratives that shape our culture and country. Narrated by a crosscutting array of White people, Doten's stories spotlight the self-serving logic through which their characters struggle to make sense of, and take control of, the narrative of our time. They run the political spectrum from \"well-intentioned\" liberals and newly woke CEOs to Trump appointees, QAnon adherents, and believers in replacement theory. There is an anti-vax nursing home employee, an anti-woke billionaire, a nonbinary sneaker podcaster turned January 6 insurrectionist, a nonprofit LA housing president dubbed \"WORST KAREN EVER,\" an elderly Republican in denial of his COVID-19 diagnosis, teenage YouTubers responding to a shooting at their suburban Minnesota school, a demonically possessed cookie manufacturer drafting a BLM statement with his new Black employee, and a gay White supremacist figure who may be a joke on 4chan, but will have his revenge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile their identities and allegiances differ, all of them are united by a ferocious belief in themselves, certain that everything they've done can be justified, if you'll just hear them out. In \u003ci\u003eWhites\u003c\/i\u003e, Doten has written a relentless book that confirms their standing as one of the great satirists of their generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Doten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.57w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644452905","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551229309065,"sku":"9781644452905","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1e4721f5-8216-4fdc-8092-409be60f6f77.jpg?v=1756189764","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/whites-stories-9781644452905","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
