A satirical and daring collection of short stories exploring black life
from one of America's rising stars.
'Makes you shake your head in delight... Her stories feel
simultaneously like the poke of a stick and a comforting balm; a smack
followed by a kiss. I’m so into it' Bim Adewunmi, Guardian
Heads of the Colored People interrogates our supposedly post-racial era
to wicked and devastating effect, exposing the violence that threatens
black Americans, no matter their apparent success.
A teenager is insidiously bullied as her YouTube following soars; an
assistant professor finds himself losing a subtle war against his
office mate; a nurse is worn down by the demand for her skills as a
funeral singer. And across a series of stories, a young woman grows up,
negotiating and renegotiating her identity.
This electric collection of short stories marks the arrival of a
remarkable writer and an urgent new voice.
