American Fiction (Subtitled) (15)

Frustrated academic Thelonious "Monk" Ellison is repeatedly told by publishers that his books aren't "black enough". He responds by churning out an outlandish work of fiction, My Pafology, under the pen name of ex-con Stagg R Leigh, which is crammed to bursting with garish racial stereotypes. Unthinkably, a publishing house offers 750,000 dollars for a book that Monk spewed out as a joke.
