A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"An unbelievable debut, one that announces a new and necessary American voice."--New York Times Book ReviewThe acclaimed debut collection from the author of Chain Gang All Stars; a piercingly raw and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it's like to be young and Black in America.From the start of this extraordinary debut, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's writing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you. By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violence, injustice, and painful absurdities that Black men and women contend with every day in this country.These stories tackle urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest, and explore the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world.In "The Finkelstein Five," Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unforgettable reckoning of the brutal prejudice of our justice system.In "Zimmer Land," we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport."Friday Black" and "How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King" show the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all.Entirely fresh in its style and perspective, and sure to appeal to fans of Colson Whitehead, Marlon James, and George Saunders, Friday Black confronts readers with a complicated, insistent, wrenching chorus of emotions, the final note of which, remarkably, is hope.

Falling in love will destroy his dream of leaving the island. But can he stop himself? Max is desperate to get off Sinclair Island and away from a dead-end job working for his widowed father. Then he and his horse literally run into the feisty and attractive Camille. Trouble is, she's just begun a career on the very island he longs to escape from. He'll have to fight his feelings for the pretty vet tech if he has any hope of starting life on the mainland. Camille brings Friday's Folly, her newly-rescued racehorse, to Sinclair Stables. She discovers that Max has valuable experience training Off Track Thoroughbreds, which she lacks, but she's having a hard time getting him to thaw. His irreverence towards God also troubles her. When his horse goes missing, Camille is able to help, and uses the opportunity to engage him in lively discussions. Max struggles hard to refute her arguments for God - and keep his emotional distance. But when her prayers on his behalf are answered, he's forced to rethink his position about God. And about Camille.
