I loved this book; I truly didn't understand the concept of a lyric essay until I got into Abdurraqib's work. He makes reading about anything and everything interesting, even topics I have no interest in. Although, of course, the topics I do have vested interest in did call out to me more: I nearly cried while reading "Fall Out Boy Forever".

If you haven't yet read Hanif Abdurraqib's writing, you are missing out. Absolutely stellar.
