![]() The best jokes in the book are racist, and, like Bonbon himself admits after attending the Festival of Unabashedly Racist Animation: Beatty, however, eases his shocked, uncomfortable liberal readers (there's no other possible audience I could imagine for this book) into a merciless exposure of every single stereotype and politically correct attitude about blacks by means of humour. ![]() The world of race in America is a lot more complex the can be expressed, so within that cultural framework almost every paragraph in this novel is taboo and off-limits. He tackles the issue head on and doesn't mince his words. That's what Paul Beatty does in 2015 America: post-racial, black-dude-governed, PC- and taboo-ridden America.Īlthough in the case of Beatty "whispering" is an understatement. That's what Bonbon Me, the Nigger-whisperer, does in Dickens. (view spoiler) ["I've whispered 'Racism' in a post-racial world" ![]()
