How dare you compare this trash to the work of Ta-Nehisi Coates and James Baldwin?!
I was expecting the letters to cover a variety of dangerous times, rather than just 'Oh, no! Trump is now president'.
This is basically a book full of letters from 30 writers who have lived with blinders on in a world supposedly full of rainbows and fairies. Trump being elected president shouldn't be such a surprise for so many people, and the world can't get better if people don't wake up and realize that!
The only letter I liked was by Io Tillett Wright.
