Black Friend: Essays by Ziwe

funny reflective fast-paced

4.0

As a big fan of Ziwe's eponymous show, I was eager to get to know her beyond her sharp and satirical comedy style. And I was not disappointed! Blending her experience breaking into fame with childhood memories, Ziwe reveals her intense, years-long dedication to comedy. And she never stops being hilarious in her signature deadpan way. I genuinely laughed out loud a lot. And between many joking asides, Ziwe presents more developed and nuanced takes on the subject matter she approached in her TV interviews. I am so bummed that her series was canceled (!!) but I can't wait to see what she does next.
