About Slumberland by Paul Beatty
Paul Beatty’s Slumberland follows DJ Darky after he creates what he considers the perfect beat. To complete his sonic work, he sets out to find Charles Stone, known as the Schwa, a little-known avant-garde jazzman whose playing he wants to add to it.
The search unfolds in recently unified Berlin, where Darky wanders the city’s streets and reflects on race, sex, love, Germanic gods and the Berlin Wall. Readers drawn to comic literary fiction, music, and a vividly described urban setting will find a distinctive mix of artistic quest and irreverent reflection.
