Krátky popis
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, GuardianHeads 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. *Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction
