What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays by Damon Young

4.0

Young tackles white supremacy and racism as it relates to his life getting haircuts, playing basketball, his mother’s life and death, his relationship with his wife, and his daughter. He has so many hang ups and neuroses; it’s comforting to know that even very accomplished writers like Young can be/have been a hot mess on the inside.
