The Sellout - Paul Beatty

This book! Have you ever read something and said to yourself, 'this author should be my friend'. Have you? Because that's this one. If anyone sees Paul Beatty out there, tell him his new best friend is right here. Winner of the Booker Prize, the first American to have done so, this story of the 'agrarian ghetto' on the outskirts of LA resonates with me due to its proximity, intelligence, and unabashed humor. Winner!
