Reading these essays, and Baldwin in general, makes you want to sit down and write everything you know with the faint hope it can accomplish an ounce of the beauty and power he puts on the page.

This is the first fantasy book I've read since I was a teenager and was a good way to get back into the genre. I loved the movie, and this is a good companion.

Amazing book. At first, I was a little hesitant because of Williams' liberal politics, but jeez, these essays were amazing. I found countless points that I could relate to, and that inspired my own writing. Williams is able to describe the Black experience in a white world so succinctly and powerfully that the whole book feels like one big gut punch.
The essays Disorientation, Ten Bullets on Whiteness, Four to Eighteen Days, Between Us, and Sighting especially stood out to me. Please pick up this book and give it a good read. Both you and Williams deserve it.
