Erasure
by Percival Everett
The novel follows Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, an intellectual and writer frustrated by the narrow expectations placed on Black authors and Black identity in the literary world. In anger and irony, he produces a parody that is mistaken for an authentic success, exposing hypocrisy in publishing, culture, and race discourse.
