The sellout
Edité par Picador - paru en 2016
Born in Dickens, Los Angeles, the narrator of The Sellout spent his childhood as the subject in his father's racially charged psychological studies. He is told that his father s memoir will solve their financial woes. But when his father is killed, he discovers there never was a memoir. Fuelled by despair, he sets out to right this wrong with the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.

A barrel of laughter!
Irony and satyre combined to depict a serious subject - racism - in the US. A real must read, besides the characters are really "colorful" and the book is really enjoyable!
