Monk is a novelist, constantly frustrated that ‘Black’ entertainment pandering to offensive tropes is more successful than his own more nuanced work. To prove a point he adopts a pseudonym to write a fake book full of exaggerated stereotypes, satirising the tastes of the white literary establishment. He expects it to fail, but it becomes a massive hit, leading to a publishing and film deal, and Monk is forced to choose between success and his principles. A biting and important satire on the prejudices faced by people of colour in arts and the media.
