‘American Fiction’
The crowd-pleasing satirical dramedy American Fiction will finally be available to stream on Prime Video in May. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, Cord Jefferson‘s directorial debut is an adaptation of Percival Everett’s novel “Erasure,” and follows Thelonious “Monk” Ellison (Academy Award nominee Jeffrey Wright), a black, upper-class writer and professor who has become disillusioned by both academia and the literary world’s insistence on celebrating negative black stereotypes. When a family crisis creates financial worries, Monk drunkenly writes a satirical novel, “My Pafology,” which features all the literary stereotypes he has always hated. Much to his shock, the publishing world falls in love with his new novel, and the irony is flying over everyone’s heads. American Fiction also stars Academy Award nominee Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), John Ortiz (Silver Linings Playbook), Erika Alexander (Living Single), Leslie Uggams (Deadpool), Adam Brody (The O.C.), and Issa Rae (Insecure).
