More about the book!
Listen to an excerpt from Friday Black, debut story collection from Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is a young writer with an explosive voice; Friday Black is a treacherously surreal, and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it’s like to be young and black in America.
From the start of this extraordinary debut, Adjei-Brenyah’s writing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you.
By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violence, injustice, and painful absurdities that black men and women contend with every day.
Adjei-Brenyah will be at the 2019 Open Book Festival in Cape Town this year!
