Thick

This book of essays is a at times painful, other times funny, always real. Some of her stories are devastating. She is brilliant and quick and full of piss and vinegar. I had a great time reading this, except when it made me terribly sad, which was often. Ms. Cottom is a deep thinker and on top of her game. I will be keeping my eye out for all that she writes in the future. If you want to see another side of racism explained and explored, pick this book up. I don't know how I found it but I'm so glad I did.
