«The Sellout» is Paul Beatty's satirical novel, published by Oneworld Publications in hardcover (294 pages, in English).
The narrator grows up in Dickens, an 'agrarian ghetto' south of Los Angeles, raised by his father, a sociologist who uses him in racial studies. After his father dies and Dickens disappears from the map, he decides to restore Dickens's visibility with extreme measures: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, a challenge that takes him before the Supreme Court.
Novel winner of the Man Booker Prize 2016 and, in 2015, of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
For readers of satire and literary fiction who appreciate an incisive look at racism and American society.
