Interpretation Supposing Books The White Boy Shuffle

White Boy Shuffle is Man Booker-winner Paul Beatty’s electrifying debut novel about teenage-surf-bum Gunnar Kaufman who is forced to wise up when his mother moves from suburban Santa Monica to urban West Los Angeles. There, he begins to undergo a startling transformation from neighbourhood outcast to basketball superstar, and eventually to reluctant messiah of a ‘divided, downtrodden people’. A bombastic coming-of-age novel that has the uncanny ability to make readers want to laugh and cry at the same time,Beatty mingles horrific reality with wild fancy in this outlandish, laugh-out-loud funny and poignant vision of contemporary America.

Evaluation Out Of Books The White Boy Shuffle

Really good book!I didn't really like it the first pages and was thinking on putting it down but i didn't and im really glad that i keept reading because it turns out to be really good reading in the end.

I wanted to love this book. Thinking back on the elements of it that worked and the playful language that resonated with its themes and content, I still want to love this book. But, ugh. . . I just don't. I don't even really like it. I don't hate it. I guess I am mostly just severely disappointed with it.There were moments, strong moments that I hoped would blossom into something more than a sketchy, jokey run through Gunnar's life, but they never developed. The prologue and introduction were so

Paul Beatty it seems, can't write any wrong. His works usually have a black man who is usually a effant terrible, master/specialist of some art, and is a social commentary on racial dynamic. One feared you could pull this off only once. Apparently not. This book like the 3 others i know, is a gem. Early 10% might lag a little but when it gets going, you will easily miss your station when reading this on a train. I did. Its not a stretch or a tough read. Read if nothing for recommendations on

Like the good Reverend KingI too "have a dream,"but when I wake upI forget it andremember I'm running late for work.

This is my favorite book that no one else has read; I recommend it to people constantly.It's lovingly, compellingly detailed despite being slightly larger-than-life. (The protagonist's best friend never, ever misses a shot.) It's intensely personal and soaringly metaphorical; scathing, incendiary, imaginative, observational and, oh yes, hilarious. Every sentence crackles-- I found myself putting it down to catch my breath occasionally. Oh, and it will probably change your position about at least

Paul Beatty is a genius. People say that so often and so easily that I tend to ignore it when its said. And in truth, Ive no idea if Paul Beattys IQ approaches Einsteins, but his mix of prose, poetry, and satire reads like genius to me. Beatty is a poet that writes narrative prose that is funny, poignant, and touches on issues of race and class. Ive listened to and read both The Sellout and The Whiteboy Shuffle. While the Sellout is a Five Stars read for me, and a book you must read if you have

I don't really know what to say about this book, other than I'm pissed off that I wasted more than twenty years on this planet without knowing about it.
