They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib
5.0
Excellent. Hanif helped me reminisce about music I have loved, and taught my lessons on how it is to live in America in his shoes. He is thoughtful and wise, sharing his insight without being “preachy.” This book reminded me of people I’ve lost and it reminds me what I love about writing.
Good line: “When a smiling, joyful black person says they’re ‘doing all right,’ I imagine it’s because they know ‘good’ maybe too close to the sun. I imagine it’s because they’ve seen things burn.”
