Dear White People

In the satirical tradition of the New York Times bestseller Stuff White People Like comes this witty companion book to the €œincredibly entertaining€ (Indiewire) film of the same name, which €œheralds a fresh and funny new voice€ (Variety).

Right out of college, Justin Simien wrote a screenplay about the nuanced experiences of four black students on a predominantly white college campus. The film, Dear White People, garnered a Sundance Award for €œBreakthrough Talent€ and has been hailed by critics everywhere. Channeling the sensibility of the film into this book, Simien will keep you laughing with his humorous observations, even if you haven€t seen the satiric film.
