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.

评分牛逼!
评分挺好的
评分5%黑色幽默吧,对美国的文化了解不够,少了共同记忆,很难读 30% 之前体力不济,现在慢慢读顺了 80% 每天一章稀里哗啦的笑一笑,喜欢人物及夸张又真实的刻画,没有答案不给vision 85% 看这书老会想起一网络语,圈子不同不必强融????100% 争吵确实无益,但生活也确实虚无但趣味横生
评分美国大选的聒噪之后,看这本书正是时候,这书讽刺美国社会的种族问题,不回避问题,也不推卸责任,不费力地讽刺,太好笑了。
