'Shockingly original' The Times
'A literary freestyler with brio to burn…scabrous and very funny' Guardian
'A no-holds-barred comedic romp' Junot Diaz
After creating the perfect beat, DJ Darky goes in search of Charles Stone, aka the Schwa, a little known avant-garde jazzman, to play over his sonic masterpiece. His quest brings him to a recently unified Berlin, where he stumbles through the city's dreamy streets ruminating about race, sex, love, Teutonic gods and the Berlin Wall in search of his artistic - and spiritual - other.
Ferocious, bombastic and laugh-out-loud funny, Slumberland is the second novel from Booker Prize-winner Paul Beatty, a comic genius at the top of his game.
