After creating the perfect beat; DJ Darky goes in search of Charles Stone; aka the Schwa; a little known avant-garde jazzman; to play over his sonic masterpiece. His quest brings him to a recently unified Berlin; where he stumbles through the city's dreamy streets ruminating about race; sex; love; Teutonic gods and the Berlin Wall in search of his artistic and spiritual other.

The White Boy Shuffle

There; he begins to undergo a startling transformation from neighbourhood outcast to basketball superstar; and eventually to reluctant messiah of a divided; downtrodden people

The Sellout

Fuelled by despair; the narrator sets out to right this wrong with the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school; which lands him in the Supreme Court.
