In this Afrosurrealistic novel conjuring the energy of Keith Knight's WOKE and Donald Glover's ATLANTA, an unemployed cartoonist must pick up the pieces of his life after a failed marriage proposal, only to find that his world has become far more absurd than anything he could have ever imagined, let alone attempted to draw.

Told in chapters composed of exactly 100 words each, Black Marker is a wild ride through the amusement park of Ran Walker's imagination, a ticket worth buying.
