I am Not Sidney Poitier is a hilarious and irresistible take on
race, class and identity. The sudden death of Not Sidney Poitier's
mother orphans him at age eleven. He is left with a name no one
understands, an uncanny resemblance to an Oscar winning actor, and
serious amount of shares in the Turner Corporation. Percival
Everett's novel follows Not Sidney's tumultuous life, as the social
hierarchy scrambles to balance his skin colour with his fabulous
wealth. Maturing under the less-than watchful eye of his adopted
foster father, Ted Turner, Not Sidney learns to navigate a world
that doesn't know what to do with him. Published for the first time
in the UK, this novel ranks as one of the greatest achievements of
Percival Everett, an overlooked master of American storytelling.
The novel is introduced by critically acclaimed British author,
Courttia Newland.
