White skin, green eyes, red hair...

Furo Wariboko - born and bred in Lagos - wakes up on the morning of his job interview to discover he has turned into a white man. As he hits the city streets running, still reeling from his new-found condition, Furo finds the dead ends of his life open out before him. As a white man in Nigeria, the world is seemingly his oyster - except for one thing: despite his radical transformation, Furo's ass remains robustly black . . .

Funny, fierce, inventive and daringly provocative - this is a very modern satire, with a sting in the tail.

Anmeldelser av Blackass:

"A bold riff on Kafka.s Metamorphosis... Igoni Barrett.s greatest asset is his ability to satirise the ridiculous extents people, especially Lagosians, go to in order to appear important. His characters. every foible is captured and amplified for effect." (Helon Habila Guardian)
"Gripping... This is a memorable, richly allusive story, skillfully interweaving thoughts from Kafka to the poet Elizabeth Bishop. Barrett probes not only the surface but the depths of who we are" (Anita Sethi Observer)
"It is the funniest, most engaging badass book I.ve read in years. You should read this book and enjoy freshly minted scintillating prose rioting with each other . it is a lush canvas of ideas, humor and vision. Blackass is fresh, contemporary writing without even trying; this is how fiction should be written in the 21st century." (Whats On Africa, Royal African Society)
"Wonderfully imagined, and very funny. a dazzling first novel by one of Africa.s best young writers" (Kate Saunders The Times)
