Katz's new novel is A Good Man.
At the Guardian she tagged ten favorite books about toxic masculinity. One title on the list:
The Wych Elm by Tana French [US title: The Witch Elm]Read about the other entries on the list.
The banality of male entitlement is exemplified by protagonist Toby Hennessey, a “lucky” young Dubliner who is nearly beaten to death when he interrupts the burglary of his apartment. Toby retreats to his uncle’s rambling manse to recuperate, where a discovery forces him to confront gaps in his memory. What seems on the surface to be a conventional whodunnit told by a likable if somewhat obtuse narrator is actually a meditation on the dark side of privilege, and how it blinds people (men especially) to the harms they commit.
--Marshal Zeringue
