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 barista 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 examination of white privilege, racism, and discrimination in the workplace. I thought the sales tips and advice scattered throughout made this novel really special and it all came together nicely at the end. I highly recommend this eye-opening read. Many thanks to @hmhbooks for sending this my way!
