I'm a fan of Ben Philippe's work. I love both his YA novels and it’s hard for me to go more than two weeks without recommending them to someone. Seeing a Haitian author making waves like this makes me ecstatic. I've also been following him on Twitter for a while now so when I heard he'd be releasing a collection of essays featuring his token satire, I was all for it.
These essays had me laughing, sighing, shaking my head in second-hand embarrassment and watching as my jaw hit the ground at several points. This is a collection that I need ALL my white friends (and acquaintances) to read.
