Described by the judges as “a novel of our times”, The Sellout casts a sharp narrative eye on America, challenging the sacred tenets of the United States constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement and the holy grail of equality – the black Chinese restaurant. In the context of the recent Presidential Election and Black Lives Matter, a piece of fiction has never been more current, more exciting, or more necessary.
