The Sellout by Paul Beatty

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange - Guesthouse * Cafe - #Pattaya....

 

The Sellout is the first book by an American author to win the UK's prestigious Man Booker Prize.

 

A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game.

It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality, the black Chinese restaurant.

Testament Of Youth: An Autobiographical Study of the Years 1900-1925 - Vera Brittain.

 

Traded in recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, #Pattaya.

 

In 1914 Vera Brittain was eighteen and, as war was declared, she was preparing to study at Oxford.

Four years later her life and the life of her whole generation had changed in a way that was unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era.

 

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain's account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world.

A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time.
