He's gotten on the selection committee. He's found his half sister, and she was not that excited about it, tho he ended up writing her a fat check with a lie about her father leaving that money for her.

Done reading My Pafology and back to Monk's life. And he just met the neighbor (Marilyn) at the boathouse, finally. My memory of the movie had me thinking this would happen sooner, but then again the movie had almost none of the detail of the embedded book in it.

Most of the way thru the novel-in-a-novel. It's painful to read this, written (I imagine, having seen the movie American Fiction) as an indictment of what "readers" expect from a black writer.

Finished chapter "Won" of My Pafology, the novel within the novel.
