1992High Cotton. This exuberant satiric novel is about black identity, which the narrator would like to escape but cannot because he is fascinated with different shades of black skin, how black people dress, how they speak, and the manners they adopt. The self-deprecating sly narrator has been compared with that of Ralph Ellison's classic Invisible Man. Pinckney, born in Indianapolis, would write Sold and Gone: African American Literature and U.S. Society (2001).
