White men still hold most of the political and economic cards in
the United States; yet stories about wounded and traumatized men
dominate popular culture. 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.
