In Store Now! The Sellout

In store now! The Sellout, by Paul Beatty

Paul Beatty’s Booker Prize winning novel The Sellout, which The Guardian called ‘the most lacerating American Satire in years’ tells the hilarious story of man from the outskirts of L.A., and his attempts to have his city put back on the map - literally! Furiously exposing the deep anxieties and racial tensions at the heart of contemporary culture, this is an absurd and fearless indictment of our quarrelsome times. 

The Sellout, by Paul Beatty

When his father is killed in a shooting, all that's left is a bill for a drive-through funeral. What's more, Dickens, the narrator’s home town has literally been wiped off the map to save California from further embarrassment.

In his trademark absurdist style,Paul Beatty’s The Sellout will have you laughing and crying simultaneously!

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop.

So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
