Simpson wore in court the day he was acquitted, and it now stands as both an artifactin their Trial of the Century exhibit and a symbol of the American medias endless hunger for the criminal and the celebrity. This event serves as a launching point for Ishmael Reeds Juice!, a novelistic commentary on the post-Simpson American media frenzy from one of the most controversial figures in American literature today. Through Paul Blessingsa censored cartoonist suffering from diabetesand his cohortsserving as stand-ins for the various mediums of artIshmael Reed argues that since 1994, O. J. has become a metaphor for things wrong with culture and politics. A lament for the death of print media, the growth of the corporation, and the process of growing old, Juice! serves as a comi-tragedy, chronicling the increased anxieties of post-race America.
