Sidney Poitier
I Am Not Sidney Poitier is a novel written by Percival Everrett and published in 2009 by Graywolf Press and in 2020 by Influx Press in the UK. It features the main character, Not Sidney Poitier, and his misadventures in early adulthood. Each adventure mirrors a prominent Sidney Poitier film, like "The Defiant Ones" or "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", and incorporates a significant twist. The novel reflects a Post-black writing style by parodying the traditions of Black literature.
