What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays by Damon Young
4.0
After reading the last sentence, I'm ready to sing "I'm black y'all, and I'm black y'all And I'm blackety black and I'm black y'all And I'm black y'all, and I'm black y'all And I'm blackety black and I'm black y'all I'm piggety black black And black black and blackety black yo" LBVS
The author Damon Young tells stories in such a way that is apologetically black. While reading this book I felt like I seen a different insight to a lot of topics that I don't think about as a black woman that a black man would see and experience.
This is a book that everyone (black,white, yellow, or whoever) should pick up and read it. It will definitely give you a better insight on topics that black people more importantly black men experience on a daily basis.
While reading this book, I laughed, I cried, I cringed and that showed me that this book is that in depth and insightful. My favorite part of the book was the chapter to his daughter Zoe.
I would highly recommend this book.
