From the start of this extraordinary debut, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's writing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you. By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violence, 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 explore the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In "The Finkelstein Five," Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unforgettable reckoning of the brutal prejudice of our justice system. In "Zimmer Land," we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And "Friday Black" and "How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King" show the horrors 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. 650 0 $a Racism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print Bill's bookshelf. 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012022057.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20190619010554.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190524010913.0 952 $l EWPB745 $d 20190423011041.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20190418012624.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190319011559.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77390B4E4A0C11E9BBA6C62E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
