| Note | Born in the 'agrarian ghetto' of Dickens on the outskirts of LA, the narrator is brought up to believe his father's racially charged psychological studies will lead to a memoir that will solve their financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, all that's left is the bill for a drive-through funeral. Fuelled by this deceit, the narrator sets out to right another wrong. Dickens has literally been wiped off the map to save LA from embarrassment, so he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregation, which lands him in the Supreme Court. |
