{"product_id":"whites-mark-doten-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 cross-cutting array of White people--stupid and\/or evil, well-meaning and\/or blinkered--they spotlight the self-serving logic through which an array of characters struggle to make sense of, and take control of, the story of our time. Doten's characters run the political spectrum from self-righteous liberals and newly woke CEOs to Trump appointees, QAnon adherents, and believers in \"replacement theory.\" There is an anti-vax nursing home employee, a red-pilled mindfulness coach turned January 6 insurrectionist, the president of a Los Angeles housing nonprofit deemed by the internet to be \"WORST KAREN EVER,\" an elderly Republican who refuses to believe he's dying of Covid (spoiler: he does), a pair of teens in suburban Minnesota making TikToks in the wake of a school shooting, and a gay White supremacist who may be a joke on 4chan right now, but will have his revenge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile their backgrounds and allegiances differ, all of these characters 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\u003eMark Doten has written a relentless book that confirms his standing as one of the great satirists of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Doten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644452901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644452905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Mark Doten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173092839679,"sku":"9781644452905","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60200bdb-e25b-41c5-9441-0a40d68f86a7.jpg?v=1727179968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whites-mark-doten-9781644452905","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
