Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
4.0

3.5 stars

On some level, I will never understand what it means or how it feels to be Black. That creates some emotional distance between me and works like this one, but I can say that Coates' writing is intense and insightful, thought-provoking, deliberately heartbreaking. It celebrates the triumphs and laments the suffering he has experienced, that he anticipates his son will experience; it offers the reader some insight towards empathy.
