| Summary, etc. | Born in the "agrarian Ghetto" of Dickens on the southern outskirts pf Los Angeles, the narrator of The Sellout spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he is told that his father's work will lead to a memoir that will solve their 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.<br/>Fuelled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been wiped off the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisted the help of the town's most famous resident - the last surviving Little Rascals, Hominy Jenkins - he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school which lands him in front of the Supreme court.<br/>The work of a comic genius at the top of his game, The Sellout is a powerful novel of vital import, and an outrageously entertaining indictment of our time. |
