Still a Bigot

Still a Bigot by James Barkley is a satirical and unflinching work of fiction that takes direct aim at the persistence of prejudice, racism, and social bigotry in contemporary British society. With a provocative title that signals its willingness to engage directly with uncomfortable social realities, the novel uses the tools of fiction — character, narrative, comedy, and tragedy — to illuminate the ways in which ingrained prejudice survives, adapts, and continues to damage lives even in a society that prides itself on tolerance and progress.

Barkley's approach is satirical rather than polemic — he is more interested in revealing how bigotry actually operates in the minds and social interactions of real people than in delivering easy moral judgements. The result is fiction that is genuinely challenging, sometimes uncomfortable, and ultimately more effective as social commentary for refusing to simplify its subject.

A book for readers who want their fiction to engage seriously with the social and moral questions of our time, Still a Bigot is a pointed and courageous piece of writing that refuses comfortable resolutions. Published by Minerva Press, it belongs in the tradition of British social fiction that uses the novel form to hold a mirror up to the society that produced it.
