Friday Film Matinee - American Fiction

Enjoy a free, daytime movie at the library! Today we are watching American Fiction (2023).

Thelonious "Monk" Ellison's writing career has stalled because his work isn't deemed "Black enough." Monk, a writer and English professor, writes a satirical novel under a pseudonym, aiming to expose the publishing world's hypocrisies. The book's immediate success forces him to get deeper enmeshed in his assumed identity and challenges his closely-held worldviews.
