Adapted into the Oscar-nominated major motion picture, American Fiction, this novel is a true masterpiece. The Los Angeles Review of Books praised it as a classic, while The Times called it a remarkable novel. Wall Street Journal described it as sublime, and brilliant, uproarious, and a wise novel about how we live. Brandon Taylor, in his review, noted that with book sales at an all-time low, his family falling apart, and his agent telling him he's not black enough, what's an author to do? Thelonius Monk Ellison has the answer, or does he?

Winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Fiction, this novel is one of the most original and forceful to have emerged from America in years. The Times Literary Supplement (TLS) hailed it as a furious whirl of a book, making readers howl with laughter, rage, sorrow, and affinity. Lisa McInerney praised it as seminal, but Everett at his finest, full of trademark protest, humanity, and incisive humor, all wrapped up in one hell of a story. Courttia Newland described it as hilarious, and Everett as a first-rate word wrangler.
