In Kill Your Friends, John Niven delivered a scathing and hugely entertaining satire on the music industry. In Straight White Male he's turned his attention to Hollywood and academia with similarly impressive results.
That of course doesn't mean that Straight White Male turns into some kind of schmaltz-fest, far from it. It does ask some big questions though and does so in a hugely enjoyable manner. Surprisingly moving and often very funny, what's not to like?
If this book appeals then we think you'll love [[The Amateurs by John Niven|The Amateurs]] or [[The Sunshine Cruise Company by John Niven|The Sunshine Cruise Company]], also by John Niven. Women might enjoy [[The Pages by Murray Bail]].
