The Santa Fe International Literary Festival Presents American Fiction
Hosted by Violet Crown, and a continuation of our Film Series, American Fiction is a satirical dramedy film by Cord Jefferson, exploring themes of racial representation in literature and the publishing industry. The story follows Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, a Black literature professor, who becomes a pseudonymous success writing a potboiler novel that satirizes stereotypical Black narratives. Through Monk's experiences, the film critiques the expectations and pressures placed on Black writers and the ways in which Black identity is often portrayed in popular culture.
