Losing My Cool: How a Father's Love and 15,000 Books Beat Hip-Hop Culture
by Thomas Chatterton Williams
4.5 Stars
I came across “Losing My Cool: Love, Literature, and a Black Man’s Escape From the Crowd” while searching GoodReads one day for a book set in New Jersey.
What I liked about this memoir: Very good, concise writing. I’m amazed the book is just over 200 pages; it could have been much longer. Thomas not only shows the outward manifestation of Hip-Hop culture on his life, but he also swept me up into his thought processes and emotions throughout his growth and transformation. I really felt like I got to know him as a person.
(The first half of the book is R-rated)
