Death of a Ladies' Man (novel)
''Death of a Ladies' Man'' is the third novel by Scottish writer Alan Bissett, released on July 23, 2009. Set within the city of Glasgow, the novel follows divorcee teacher Charlie Bain's journey into hedonism and sex addiction. Bissett describes ''Death of a Ladies' Man'' as "a cautionary tale for women written by a man who is trying to say: 'Look, this is why we are the way we are. Understand but do not forgive."
The novel shares its title with Leonard Cohen's 1977 album, ''Death of a Ladies' Man'', and often includes quotes from Cohen preceding its chapters.
==Themes==
''Death of a Ladies' Man'' largely focuses upon hedonism, ageing, lust, compromise and feminism.
Regarding the recurring theme of feminism, Bissett noted, "You never write with a specific 'audience' in mind, but it does seem that women have reacted to the book more enthusiastically than men. I worried, when I was writing it, that women would accuse me of peddling adolescent, sexist fantasies. Actually, all of the flak has come from men. I think they feel a bit accused by it. I know a guy who said it 'traumatised' him! Women, on the other hand, totally get it, and feel it’s a book which is generally on their side. I’m happy at that result." Bissett also noted, "Modern man is fucked up, modern men really are in a terrible state. I realised that to an even greater degree during the course of the book. I actually wonder whether feminism has had any impact on men at all in the last 30 or 40 years."〔
