The Sellout by Paul Beatty
3.0
A nod to #BlackHistoryMonth
Satirical novel narrated by a man referred to by his childhood nickname "Bonbon" or his last name, "Me”. Me attempts to reintroduce segregation and keep a slave named Hominy in Dickens, his Los Angeles neighborhood. This attempt leads to a Supreme Court case, Me Vs. The United States of America. This book hits a lot of true (yet touchy) social, racial and political issues.
