Hard at blogging because he saw his friends blogging and wanted to fit in.
Erasure - Percival Everett
A satire on both the American publishing industry, and the presumably ubiquitous struggles and mindset of being black in America which are postulated and enforced by popular novels and media. This novel is short, entertaining, and questions the blurry line between racial pride and parody. For fans of multi-stylistic modern writing, or those who enjoyed the themes tackled in Spike Lee’s Bamboozled, this is a recent book well worth your time.
