The sellout / Paul Beatty. by Beatty, Paul, author. New York : Picador, 2016. Subjects Fathers and sons -- Fiction.   Racism -- Fiction.   Race relations -- Fiction.   Los Angeles (Calif.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781250083258 (paperback) 1250083257 (paperback) Description:  288 pages ; 21 cm Edition:  First Picador edition. Requests:  1 Summary:  Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens -- on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles -- the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: "I'd die in the same bedroom I'd grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that've been there since '68 quake." Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's 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. Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident -- the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins -- he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.
