Cashing in on Racial Color is a provocative social and political satire following Paddy Aloysius Puzo, a struggling California cabdriver whose search for stability takes him from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., Saipan, and beyond. Along the way, Puzo becomes entangled in racial tensions, government bureaucracy, political corruption, questionable public spending, and civic dysfunction. What begins as one man's attempt to escape his problems turns into an increasingly chaotic journey through institutions and communities shaped by competing interests, prejudice, ambition, and self-preservation. Bold, irreverent, and intentionally confrontational, Jack Angello's novel uses dark humor and political parody to examine the absurdities of race, government, power, and the people who learn how to benefit from the system.
