In this universally accessible New York Times bestseller named for
her wildly popular web series, Issa Rae waxes humorously on what
it's like to be unabashedly awkward in a world that regards
introverts as hapless misfits and black as cool. I'm awkward-and
black. Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone
could be. That someone was right. Where do I start? Being an
introvert (as well as "funny") in a world that glorifies cool isn't
easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Award-winning
hit series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, is that
introvert-whether she's navigating love, the workplace,
friendships, or "rapping"-it sure is entertaining. Now, in this New
York Times bestselling debut collection written in her witty and
self-deprecating voice, Rae covers everything from cyber sexing in
the early days of the Internet to deflecting unsolicited comments
on weight gain, from navigating the perils of eating out alone and
public displays of affection to learning to accept yourself-natural
hair and all. The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a book no
one-awkward or cool, black, white, or other-will want to miss.
