Erasure: A Novel

Frustrated with his poor book sales, college professor Thelonious 'Monk' Ellison pens a fierce parody of exploitive ghetto literature entitled My Pafology, which is hailed by critics as the work of a great new voice and brings him the success he craves, but also confronts him with a difficult choice between his moral principles and his dreams.
