Black Buck: The mesmerising New York Times bestseller

*A New York Times Bestseller* \r\nMesmerizing Colson Whitehead\r\nAs funny as it is smart. Candice Carty Williams\r\nA wonderful, riotous romp Irenosen Okojie\r\n\r\nMy goal is to teach you how to sell. And if Im half the salesman every newspaper, blog, and hustler in New York City says I am, then you are in luck. With my story, I will give you the tools to go out and create the life you want. Sound fair?\r\n\r\nMeet Buck. But before Buck was the Muhammad Ali of sales, floating like a butterfly and selling like a demon, he was Darren: an unambitious twenty-two-year-old living with his mother and working at Starbucks. All that changes when a chance encounter with Rhett Daniels, the silver-tongued CEO of NYCs hottest tech startup, results in Darren joining Rhetts elite sales team.\r\n\r\nOn his first day Darren realizes he is the only Black person in the company, and when things start to get strange, he reimagines himself as Buck, a ruthless salesman, unrecognizable to his friends and family. Money, partying, and fame soon follow Buck, and wherever he goes more is never enough.\r\n\r\nBut when tragedy strikes at home, Buck begins to hatch a plan to help young people of colour infiltrate Americas sales force, setting off a chain of events that forever changes the game.\r\n\r\nAn earnest work of satire, Black Buck is a hilarious, razor-sharp skewering of office culture; a propulsive, crackling debut that explores ambition and race, and makes way for a necessary new vision of the American dream.
