Colored Television introduces us to Jane, a professor on sabbatical who has finally finished her second novel, a sprawling epic around mulatto figures throughout history. However, things take a turn when she brings her novel to her editor and things go on an adventure from there.
I really enjoyed Colored Television - although some folks found it funny, I actually found it stressful (in an enjoyable way?) as Jane's lies and decisions as she tries to secure some stability for herself start undermining what she already has.
