If I die having written a single sentence as good as any sentence Hanif Abdurraqib ever wrote then I had a good run

There is so much contained is such a short book. I really enjoyed the author's reflections and interjections about the contents of the essays in the audiobook.

Poetic, moving writing connecting music to various events in our history and the authors own personal thoughts on those events and how they relate to him. Not the most interesting collection of essays for me. I couldn’t really relate or connect with everything he was saying about music. I listened to the audiobook and he spoke so fast, it was hard to keep up 😂 (yes, I know I can slow down the speed but if I’m on the normal speed and he sounds like I’m on 2x speed, that’s crazy!!). I still want to check out his other work, The Little Devil in America I believe it’s called. It was a favorite of many book readers I know last year.

Gorgeous writing on topics I don't care about at all. A 2016 time capsle. If other holds didn't arrive while I was listening I probably would have finished it just because of how beautiful the prose was.
