Chris's Reviews > I Am Not Sidney Poitier

A delightful, surprising, and spectacularly meta novel about the boy who is named (yes) "Not Sidney Poitier," and raised by (wait for it) Ted Turner, and counts among his professors when he goes to college. . .Percival Everett. I dove in after reading Everett's magnificent JAMES and then saw this earlier tale among the New York Times list of the funniest novels published in the 21st century.
