The instant New York Times bestseller 'An unbelievable debut' New
York Times Racism, but "managed" through virtual reality Black
Friday, except you die in a bargain-crazed throng Happiness, but
pharmacological Love, despite everything A Publisher's Weekly Most
Anticipated Book for Fall 2018 Friday Black tackles urgent
instances of racism and cultural unrest, and explores the many ways
we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In the first,
unforgettable story of this collection, The Finkelstein Five,
Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unstinting reckoning of the brutal
prejudice of the US justice system. In Zimmer Land we see a
far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And 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. Fresh, exciting,
vital and contemporary, Friday Black will appeal to people who love
Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad, the TV show Black Mirror,
the work of Kurt Vonnegut and George Saunders, and anyone looking
for stories that speak to the world we live in now. 'An excitement
and a wonder' George Saunders 'The writing in this outstanding
collection will make you hurt and demand your hope' Roxane Gay 'The
fiction debut of the year. Bravo young man. We await your encore'
