Publisher's Note
Paul Beatty's hilarious and scathing debut novel is about Gunnar Kaufman, an awkward black surfer bum who is moved by his mother from Santa Monica to urban West Los Angeles. There, he begins to undergo a startling transformation from neighborhood outcast to basketball superstar, and eventually to reluctant messiah of a "divided, downtrodden people."

Industry Reviews
"This first novel by the poet Paul Beatty is a blast of satirical heat from the talented heart of black American life....[A] rich, raucous, hilarious, overdone porridge full of the various ingredients of the daily absurdist American spectacle....Mr. Beatty is a fertile and original writer, one to watch."
New York Times - Richard Bernstein (05/31/1996)

"...[A] bitingly funny, occasionally preachy satire of racism in all its guises....With this novel, Beatty creates a protagonist who enables even someone who is not black to get a sense of what it is like to be...and to experience bittersweet laughter in the process."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Paul Krassner (07/21/1996)

"This insistent hipsterism may weary some readers, but, mercifully, the novel's trendy, self-regarding ribaldry consistently yields to its surprisingly tender, guileless heart."
New York Times Book Review - Lise Funderburg (07/28/1996)

"This Paul Beatty is crazy. A poet turned loose on prose in a comic-novel debut..., he parodies the reinvented realities of so many recent black nonfiction memoirs. This fabricated autobiography is so audacious that if reading it fails to make you laugh out loud, you're either dead or European....The real joy is watching a verbal mixmaster spin vernacular and literary structures into unexpected beats."
Quarterly Black Review of Books - V. R. Peterson (09/19/1996)

"His fast-paced adventures are relayed in a style that bears all the marks of Beatty's best poetic riffs....Beatty fearlessly lampoons the entire tradition of 'up from adversity' black male memoirs..."
