Riassunto

In a collection of essays published by the New York Times, MTV, and Pitchfork, among others - along with original, previously unreleased essays Hanif Abdurraqib explores the political, social, racial condition of our world today through the language of music and culture. From discussions over public displays of affection at a Carly Rae Jepsen show to the everyday threats to the lives of black Americans, including his own, Abdurraqib provides a lens through which to view our world, so that we might better understand ourselves, and in so doing proves himself a bellwether for our times.

'...an essential collection of journalism for anyone who's ever been intimidatingly, obsessively in love with music.' - The Skinny

'Intelligence, sincerity, compassion and wit mark out this brilliant collection of essays' - The Big Issue

'Written with such insight and tenderness that I read it in a day and immediately read the whole thing again' -New York Times

'A vital meditation on music - and living and dying in America' --- Washington Post
