Duncan has never been very good at keeping his opinions to himself.

He believes in common sense, good wine, taking risks and saying what you think — preferably before considering whether anyone might be offended.

Unfortunately for Duncan, the world around him seems to be moving in a rather different direction.

From gender-neutral parenting in Germany to a female vicar in Amsterdam, from corporate diversity to intersectionality, Duncan keeps finding himself in conversations he probably ought to avoid. Instead, he asks one question too many. Why does the patriarchy have no headquarters? Why does a bank need both masculine and feminine qualities, while a child apparently does not? And when did simply speaking your mind become quite so dangerous?

At first, Duncan treats it all as an entertaining game. He provokes, jokes, flirts and occasionally makes a spectacular escape. But gradually the stakes become higher. A careless conversation can travel further than expected, reputations can collapse overnight, and Duncan discovers that being the man who refuses to follow the crowd is much easier when there is still a crowd around you.

Stand-Up Pisser in a Woke World is a provocative, hilarious collection of connected stories about masculinity, loneliness and the peculiarities of modern life — told by a man who may be annoying, but is never boring.

For readers aged 18 and over who aren't afraid of a little political incorrectness.
