This book is easily one of the sharpest and wittiest books I've ever read; every page is armed to the teeth with satirical quips and biting one-liners. "The Sellout" is a deeply funny and introspective work about race in America's current """"""post-racial""""" political climate. In some ways, the thick layers of pop-culture references, larger-than-life personalities, and narration style in Paul Beatty's writing reminded me - in some sections - of Junot Diaz. Sardonic, thought-provoking and unbelievably funny: highly recommend.
