PYG, or The Mis-Edumacation of Dorian Belle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573708947)

Dorian Belle is a big deal. He's a Canadian pop sweetheart, and he's ready to be taken seriously. So his people hire his favorite hip-hop artists - Black and Alexand, the "bad boy" rappers of Petty Young Goons - to help him toughen up his image. They're black, he's white. They're from Chicago, he's from Canada. It's all on reality TV. What could go wrong?

Inspired by Shaw's Pygmalion, this scathing comedy is a blistering and entertaining look at cultural and racial appropriation in a fictionalized exchange of ideologies, vernacular, and alleged street cred.
