Bingham Prize * Finalist for the Kirkus Prize and Los Angeles Times Book PrizeNamed a Best Book of the Year by Refinery29, NPR, The Root, HuffPost, Vanity Fair, Bustle, Chicago Tribune, PopSugar, and The UndefeatedIn one of the seasons most acclaimed works of fiction, Nafissa ThompsonSpires offers a firecracker of a book...a triumph of storytelling: intelligent, acerbic, and ingenious (Financial Times).Nafissa ThompsonSpires grapples with race, identity politics, and the contemporary middle class in this vivid, fast, funny, waysmart, and verbally inventive (George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo) collection.Each captivating story plunges headfirst into the lives of utterly original characters. Some are darkly humoroustwo mothers exchanging snide remarks through notes in their kids backpackswhile others are devastatingly poignant. In the title story, when a cosplayer, dressed as his favorite anime character, is mistaken for a violent threat the consequences are dire; in another story, a teen struggles between her upper middle class upbringing and her desire to fully connect with socalled black culture.ThompsonSpires fearlessly shines a light on the simmering tensions and precariousness of black citizenship. Boldly resisting categorization and easy answers, Nafissa ThompsonSpires has taken the best of what Toni Cade Bambara, Morgan Parker, and Junot Daz do plus a whole lot of something weve never seen in American literature, blended it all together...giving us one of the finest shortstory collections (Kiese Laymon, author of Long Division).
