A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. "An unbelievable debut, one that announces a new and necessary American voi ce."--New York Times Book Review The acclaimed debut collection from the author of Chain Gang All Stars; a p iercingly raw and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it's li ke to be young and Black in America. From the start of this extraordinary debut, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's writ ing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you. By placing ordinar y characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violenc e, injustice, and painful absurdities that Black men and women contend with every day in this country. These stories tackle urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest, and ex plore the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In "The Finkelstein Five," Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unforgettable reckonin g of the brutal prejudice of our justice system. In "Zimmer Land," we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as s port. "Friday Black" and "How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King" show the horr ors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all. Entirely fresh in its style and perspective, and sure to appeal to fans of Colson Whitehead, Marlon James, and George Saunders, Friday Black confronts readers with a complicated, insistent, wrenching chorus of emotions, the final note of which, remarkably, is hope.
