Ten Evenings: Paul Beatty

What if slavery and legal segregation were suddenly reinstated in a small town just to put it back on the map? That’s what happens in the new satirical novel by Paul Beatty, The Sellout, which earned the Man Booker Prize and which The Wall Street Journal calls “Swiftian satire of the highest order ... giddy, scathing and dazzling.” Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures’ Ten Evenings series hosts Beatty for a talk at Carnegie Music Hall.
