I Am Not Sidney Poitier

I Am Not Sidney Poitier is a 2009 novel by Percival Everett. The novel is a satirical exploration of race, identity, and the media's portrayal of Black men in America. It follows the story of a television star who, after a series of bizarre events, finds himself in a situation that forces him to confront his own identity and the stereotypes associated with him. Everett's work often challenges preconceptions about race and uses humor and absurdity to critique societal norms and the publishing industry's tendency to pigeonhole authors and their characters.12
