Paul Beatty

Paul Beatty's writing visits themes of race, justice and identity in America. He returns to The Takeaway to put the current political climate into the context of how he views the world.

Paul Beatty joins us for the July Book Club! His novel, 'The Sellout,' earned the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.

For the second year in a row, not a single person of color was nominated for an acting Oscar, something that has reignited the conversation about race and the entertainment industry.

Paul Beatty’s new novel, "The Sellout," is a scathing take on race and self-righteousness in America today. And it might be the funniest book you read all year.
