Piccolo Is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Pop Culture by Jordan Calhoun
reflective
fast-paced
4.5
I appreciated the author's search for empowered Black characters in pop culture as part of finding his way in the world. Just as with his writing for The Atlantic, I enjoyed his observations about characters' behaviors and choices, and what he learned from them. I don't think I always got the connections he was making between what he saw in those shows and how it applied in real life, but I don't necessarily need to.
There were a surprising number of typos and grammatical misses in the edition I read.
