A stunning collection of essays using music as a vantage point through which to examine and interrogate the world we live in.
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.
