Every American should read this book. It's addressed to the author's son, but the truths revealed here are essential learning - or rather, remembering - for every person in this country who desires to be free of the myth of America's glory days.

abicaro17's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional informative reflective tense slow-paced

4.5

Wow oh wow. As Coates writes to his son, he details how community and connection shape his understanding of racism and cultural norms. As he moves from childhood in Baltimore, to Chicago, Paris and more, he tells tales of everything from reactions to famous deaths of Black people like Trayvon Martin to an argument on an escalator. This book is oh so slow, as memoirs tend to be, but its worth it. The way he writes to his son is so touching and the stories he tells are heartbreaking but beautiful. The last chapter with Mrs. Jones really got me.
