Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write his own outlandish "Black" book--that propels him into the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. This R-rated film was nominated for several Academy Awards in 2024, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor. Made possible by the Friends of the New Providence Memorial Library.
