like any short story collection, a bit of a mixed bag but the stand outs for me are JOHN REDDING GOES TO SEA, BLACK DEATH, and SWEAT.

short stories tend to be pretty hit or miss with me and unfortunately this was a miss. most of the characters felt the same and we were rarely given information about them aside from what they were wearing and their station in life so in the dialogue heavy stories, it was sometimes hard to distinguish who was who. for most of the stories there would be random, inane things brought up that had no impact on anything, everyone would light up a cigarette and have an "intellectual" conversation, and then the ending would come out of nowhere. the formulaic ~structure~ of the stories made this collection such a drag .

the first story is significantly more enjoyable than the second but even when the content itself isn’t that interesting, the writing is great.

like all essay collections, there are some entries that i like more than others, but there are no bad entries in this collection; i got something from every one. my favorites are THIS FAR: NOTES ON LOVE AND REVOLUTION, COMPOSITE POPS, BLACK AND BLUE, THE CONDITION OF BLACK LIFE IS ONE OF MOURNING, and WHITE RAGE. i can't necessarily articulate why these are my favorites other than the fact that i felt them in my chest.
