I Am Not Sidney Poitier is a surreal and sharply funny literary satire following a young man literally named “Not Sidney Poitier.” Raised wealthy but constantly misunderstood, he drifts through absurd situations involving race, identity, media, privilege, and American culture. Everett blends deadpan humour with philosophical comedy and social critique in one of his most inventive novels.
