I've rarely read a book of any genre with prose so moving and lyrical as Ta-Nehisi Coates'. What he was saying was important. It was a viewpoint I've never read before. And it was beautiful. My issue with non-fiction is almost always that it can't hold my attention, it doesn't capture my imagination. Coates' anecdotes were vividly described. His ideas and theories were illustrated eloquently. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
