Wigger

first publication date:  1974
original title:  Wigger
original language:  English

Wigger is a 1974 novel written by William Goldman about a young girl who loses her blanket. The book was named for a blanket that belonged to Goldman's daughter Susanna. Goldman later said the novel was one of his favourite works, and that writing it was a "wonderful experience... compared to what it's like ordinarily." The book was voted a Book of the Year by the Child Study Association, however, Goldman, who died in 2018, never wrote another children's book. Wigger has since fallen out of print and is considered rare to book collectors; this was in part due to the book's title (in American slang, a "wigger" is a white person who appropriates and emulates African-American behaviour; the word, which came from the term "white nigger", is considered extremely offensive). The book is also tied up in rights revision issues, like most of Goldman's early published works, since his death. Source: Wikipedia (en)
