Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah Friday Black
b'A conversation with University of Albany Alum Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah about his debut collection FRIDAY BLACK. By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Nana reveals the violence, injustice, and painful absurdities that black men and women contend with every day in this country. To set the scene: think Black Mirror meets Black Lives Matters. In the knockout opening story \\u201cThe Finklestein Five,\\u201d we\\u2019re confronted by a man who is acquitted after using a chainsaw to massacre five black children standing outside the library, because he feels threatened by them. It\\u2019s an absolute gutpunch. Other stories in FRIDAY BLACK look at capitalism/consumerism and racism.
