{"product_id":"whites-stories","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.","brand":"Mark Doten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46798615576812,"sku":"9781644452905","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781644452905.jpg?v=1757211770","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/whites-stories","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
