Erasure

With sales at an all time low, your family falling apart, and your agent telling you you're not black enough, what's an author to do but write a ghetto novel and call it Fuck? At once a savage satire on contemporary American culture and a profoundly moving story of family turmoil, Erasure marked the UK debut of a unique American voice and was rightly hailed as one of the most startling novels of recent times.
