Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens, the narrator of The Sellout spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. Raised by a single father, a sociologist, he is told that his father's work will lead to a memoir that will solve their financial woes. But when his father is killed, he realises there never was a memoir. Fueled by this deceit, the narrator initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery, which lands him in front of the Supreme Court.
