Plot: African-American writer and professor in Los Angeles, Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, is a highly brilliant upper-class writer. Scholars have praised his works, but they have not done well commercially. His most recent manuscript was turned down by publishers because it was deemed insufficiently "black." His institution placed him on temporary leave for his careless remarks about race to students and advised him to attend a literary program and visit his family in Boston.
