Black Buck

Mateo Askaripour

A satire of startup salesmanship, delivered as a how-to manual that gets more savage as it goes.

A young Black man working at Starbucks is recruited into a mysterious, all-white sales startup and rebuilt into its top performer. Askaripour writes satire with the structure of a business manual, complete with sales tips to the reader, and grows steadily more savage as the promotion takes hold.
