Black Buck is a dark, satirical novel written in the style of a sales manual. The main character Darren (later re-named Buck) is propelled into the tech startup world after he impresses a customer with a sales pitch at his coffee shop job. We follow Buck on his wildly entertaining and depressingly realistic journey as a black man trying to rise through the ranks in a predominantly white business.
The narrative provides a thought-provoking, fascinating examination of white privilege, racism, and discrimination in the workplace. I thought the sales tips and advice scattered throughout made this novel feel more intimate and it was very unique. The plot was action-packed and it all came together nicely at the end. I highly recommend this purely entertaining, eye-opening read.
The cover is eye-catching and suits the story perfectly. Bravo!
