A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality--the black Chinese restaurant.
Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens--on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles--the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: "I'd die in the same bedroom I'd grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that've been there since '68 quake." Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes, but when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that's left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral.
Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident--the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins--he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.
Is integration, forced or otherwise, social entropy or social order? 問題很深刻嘛! 讀瞭引子就覺得這書也太敢寫瞭簡直無法隨便安利 很多典故和黑點都讓人拍手叫絕 還實名cue瞭好幾位大法官 最醜的電影明星 最白的rapper 最蠢的知識分子在貴圈最受尊敬真是無法反駁哈哈哈!
評分媽呀讀的真纍,好多細節沒懂,也不想去弄懂瞭,開始都得很有興趣,然後越讀越纍,也沒瞭娛樂性瞭,就是諷刺美國黑人不公的處境的,文化不熟悉,感情不共鳴,但又莫名覺得寫得不錯
