Description

I Am Not Sidney Poitier is a comic tour de force from Pulitzer Prize-nominated author Percival Everett. After the sudden death of his mother, Percival is left with a name no one understands, an uncanny resemblance to an Oscar-winning actor, and a significant inheritance. As he navigates a world that struggles to balance his skin colour with his wealth, he matures under the less than watchful eye of his adopted foster father, Ted Turner.

The social hierarchy is thrown into turmoil as Not Sidney learns to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature, this novel is a worthwhile read for fans of Percival Everett's unique style.
