Black buck

Alternate cover edition of ISBN For fans of Sorry to Bother You and The Wolf of Wall Street—a crackling, satirical debut novel about a young man given a shot at stardom as the lone Black salesman at a mysterious, cult-like, and wildly successful startup where nothing is as it seems. There’s nothing like a Black salesman on a mission. An unambitious twenty-two-year-old, Darren lives in a Bed-Stuy brownstone with his mother, who wants nothing more than to see him live up to his potential as the valedictorian of Bronx Science. But Darren is content working at Starbucks in the lobby of a Midtown office building, hanging out with his girlfriend, Soraya, and eating his mother’s home-cooked meals. All that changes when a chance encounter with Rhett Daniels, the silver-tongued CEO of Sumwun, NYC’s hottest tech startup, results in an exclusive invitation for Darren to join an elite sales team on the thirty-sixth floor. After enduring a “hell week” of training, Darren, the only Black person in the company, reimagines himself as “Buck,” a ruthless salesman unrecognizable to his friends and family. But when things turn tragic at home and Buck feels he’s hit rock bottom, he begins to hatch a plan to help young people of color infiltrate America’s sales force, setting off a chain of events that forever changes the game. Black Buck is a hilarious, razor-sharp skewering of America’s workforce; it is a propulsive, crackling debut that explores ambition and race, and makes way for a necessa...

On the Shelf Black Buck By Mateo Askaripour Houghton Mifflin: 400 pages, $26 If you buy books linked on our site, The Times may earn a commission from The book’s 20-something narrator, Darren, graduated as valedictorian from one of New York’s top high schools, only to tamp down his ambitions. He’s been playing it safe in Brooklyn, contenting himself with his Ma, his girlfriend and a modest managerial job at Starbucks. Then he is seduced into the world of sales — hired to persuade corporations to enlist in emotional and spiritual support services from a shiny new startup called Sumwun. Despite facing persistent racism as Sumwun’s lone Black employee — coworkers rename him Buck and claim he resembles Malcolm X and Darren does eventually find a new path, training minorities to even the playing field for themselves and others — only to be targeted by misinformation from white supremacists depicting his crew as extremists and thugs. Askaripour, 29, wields a sharp satirical blade to deliver social commentary. “A lot of the humor is like an inside joke for Black people,” he says, “and if I was writing with white people in mind, I probably wouldn’t have written it, because I’m talking s— in mixed company.” The poet, essayist and author, most recently, of “Just Us,” discusses the evolving movement toward racial justice with Professor Marcus Anthony Hunter. The more exaggerated details in the book — Darren sends a trainee to sell a (fictional) magazine called Blackface — have drawn ...

In a tradition stretching back to Ben Franklin, Askaripour positions this Bildungsroman as a self-help manual, but the book is cast with a distinct hue. Darren, the narrator, tells us: “I am a black man on a mission. No, I am a black salesman on a mission.” Writing from his penthouse overlooking Central Park, Darren wants only to give other Black people the tools they need to fulfill their dreams. The introduction is as American as Dale Carnegie, and the story that follows is periodically interrupted by habits of highly effective people who would make Stephen Covey proud: But when the story begins, Darren is a very different person than the Black Tony Robbins who introduces this story. He’s just a happy 22-year-old dude living with his mom in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Despite graduating as valedictorian of his class at Bronx School of Science, he never went to college and has been working the last four years at a Park Avenue Starbucks. “Now I’m not trying to brag,” he tells us, “but I was what you’d call a Starbucks prodigy.” That’s one small step for barista, one giant leap for conquista. His journey toward worldwide commercial fame has begun! The businessman is so impressed by Darren’s coffee salesmanship that he hires him away from Starbucks for the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be a sales associate at Sumwun, the hot new therapy service that’s taking over the Internet. Askaripour has a sharp eye for the comic absurdity of online start-ups. Sumwun employees — “Sumw...
