FIRST AMERICAN TO WIN THE BOOKER, SIGNED
His father psychologically experimented on him. His California hometown has been wiped from the map. And somehow he ends up at the Supreme Court amidst a heated race trial. Paul Beatty's narrator, witty and searing, captured global imaginations after its publication in 2015. Released into a country flush with racial tension (as BLM grew into a real political force and Donald Trump ran for president), Beatty's absurdist approach to race made him the first American author to winner the Man Booker Prize (2016).
