Sinopse

THE SELLOUT meets INTERIOR CHINATOWN in this satirical debut about race, sexuality and truth. German-Polish-Indian student Nivedita's world is upended when she discovers that her beloved professor who passed for Indian was born white.

Nivedita (a.k.a. Identitti), a doctoral student who blogs about race with the help of Hindu goddess Kali, is in awe of Saraswati, her outrageous superstar post-colonial and race studies
tutor. But Nivedita's life and sense of self begin to unravel when it emerges that Saraswati is actually white. Hours before she learns the truth Nivedita praises her tutor in a radio interview, jeopardising her own reputation and igniting an angry backlash among her peers and online community.

Dumped by her boyfriend and disowned by her friends in the uproar, Nivedita is drawn to her supervisor in search of answers not only about Saraswati's identity, but also around her own.

In her thought-provoking, complex and genre-bending debut, Mithu Sanyal collages
commentary from real-life intellectuals, blogs, articles, race theory and academic warfare, combining campus novel and coming-of-age drama. A darkly comedic tour de force astutely translated by Alta L. Price, Identitti showcases the outsized power of social media in the current debates around identity politics and the power of claiming your own voice.

    "Can you share a room with Jesse tonight?" 
     
     
     
    How could I say no? 
     
     
     
    What Greg and Cooper didn't know was Jesse and I met three years ago in Madrid. And when I finally hooked up with the handsome Navy SEAL, our night turned into a weekend of the best sex of my life. Jesse made me see stars twenty-four hours a day. We had a connection, but our timing wasn't right. He was going back to America, and I was headed back to Italy to play soccer. 
     
     
     
    It was all for the best, because I didn't do relationships. Especially with a man nine-years-older and the total opposite of me. But I never forgot him, even though I tried. 
     
     
     
    Fast forward three years later, and we find ourselves thrown back together again in Portland. I'm the new kicker for the Portland Pirates and Jesse Evans has reappeared in my life. And just as fate would have it, my dream hookup is Cooper's older brother, and he's moving his security firm to Portland. 
     
     
     
    Would he remember me? Did that weekend three years ago affect him as much as it did me? I guess time would tell when we shared that room in the Florida Keys. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
