Modern America, on both sides of its social border

Here the history of burlesque Gunnar Kaufman, peaceful Black living in an upscale, white, Los Angeles. It therefore Gunnar Kaufman lives in a residential suburb, peaceful, surrounded by his friends rich and privileged; with, in addition, undeniable intellectual qualities. Following this akin to a racial slur and denial of membership in the black community, Gunnar's mother takes the whole family to a homecoming: Executive Hillside, one black and poor neighborhood of LA where gangs have replaced the municipal employees. Initially totally disoriented, the young Gunnar Kaufman, like a chameleon, eventually split into the ground ... aided by his athleticism unconventional: it was at this time that he discovered the joys of playing basketball -Ball. Therefore, it is a "GK" sauce "Messiah" that will show the path of light to all the lost sheep that surround it.
On a writing style crazy and mad energy (sometimes too it seems), Paul Beatty denounces through, clichés, the shadow areas of a country multiculturalism displayed and assumed ... but that turns out far from being a complete success, eventually.
