Thick: And Other Essays by Tressie McMillan Cottom

It’s just perfect.

Six essays that made me deeply examine and then rethink everything I thought about race, class, and gender. And Cottom somehow manages to do all that while being very very funny.

Bonus points for reminding me why I dropped out of grad school. She’s an academic, yes, but also a glorious challenge to the academic culture and I love that she’s winning.

Read this now. And then re-read it in a few months. Buy copies for friends. All the things.
