5.0

*4.5 stars*

This was excellently done. I had read quite a few of these essays at the time of their publication, but what really made this for me was Coates's analysis of and reflections on his own previous writings that preceded each essay in this collection. Also, Coates just knows how to craft a sentence. This really shows how beautifully written nonfiction can be. And the subject matter is, sadly, very timely.
