Satire for a Black American experience
Hard to write a book on racism that is not angry or condescending.
The success of the book is it contain a lot of very serious contents on racism, and how the Black Americans experience is not really understood by other people who are not going through the similar experience in life.
All the main characters are Black Americans, lot of activists without the the protest and speech. The story is around a man who was raised quite cruelly as a psychology experiment by his father.
Then he met someone who always play minor characters on TV series. This person is a submissive and he attached himself to this guy.
Now they lived in a town that has been rezoned and removed from the map. They wanted that identity back.
So they put up fake road signs and white lane line on road.
The story moved very slowly for me. Make one think of segregation and other stuff that is based on race.
Well written and thought provoking. Reading this for December 23 Festivus Book task: Read any comedy, parody, or satire.
