Written as a letter to his teenage son, Coates reckons with the physical reality of being Black in America — not as metaphor, not as sociology, but as a condition of the body. Urgent, lyrical, and unsparing. This is a book for the moment when knowing the history isn't enough, and you need someone to help you hold the feeling of it.
