Why are white men jumping on the victim bandwagon? Examining novels by Philip Roth, John Updike, James Dickey, John Irving, and Pat Conroy and such films as Deliverance, Misery, and Dead Poets Society?as well as other writings, including The Closing of the American Mind?Sally Robinson argues that white men are tempted by the possibilities of pain and the surprisingly pleasurable tensions that come from living in crisis. 606 $aMen, White$zUnited States 606 $aMasculinity$zUnited States 606 $aMen in popular culture$zUnited States 606 $aMen in literature 615 0$aMen, White 615 0$aMasculinity 615 0$aMen in popular culture 615 0$aMen in literature. 676 $a305.31/0973 700 $aRobinson$b Sally$f1959-$0620917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812571103321 996 $aMarked men$94084128 997 $aUNINA
