What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays by Damon Young

funny informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

From an audiobook perspective, I really liked the narrator’s voice, cadence, clarity, and speed. I also liked the essays and stories that were told through them. Some of them engaged me more and others I had to rewind and relisten. Part of that is my own fault, admittedly because I always multitask with audiobooks, but overall it was good. I wish there had been a little more cohesion, although I found the last chapter to sum up a lot of the “why” questions I had behind each essay. The section on rape and victims was hard for me to listen to.
