By Paul Beatty
The narrator grows up in Dickens, an agricultural ghetto on the southern edge of Los Angeles, raised by a sociologist father who uses him for behavioural experiments. When his father is shot by police and the city quietly removes Dickens from the map, he sets out to put it back.
His method is to reintroduce segregation to the local school and to take on a slave, which lands him in the Supreme Court. A satire on American race politics that gives no one anywhere to stand. Winner of the Booker Prize.
