Book 81: This book is talked about so heavily and I feel it’s really not done justice. This is so much more than a book on time travel or race but an allegory for history. And me and the main character share the same name. Absolutely stunning.

Book 80: I finished this about a month ago after putting it off for almost a year and it took me forever. This book could’ve been shorter and more potent. But I understand the type of. Red for this book at the time of publication. I hope she feels some kind of liberation in Cuba.

Book 79: I’ve read his more popular work Wretched of the Earth and I liked this one much more. There was a focus and talent that really shined through in this. Especially when it comes to the blend of psychology and criticism which made for something I’ve really never read before.

Book 78: The idea of this book is so enthralling and really insisted on the idea of what it means to be Black when race essentially no longer exists. The only small issue I had was the language was at times too flowery and no context.

Book 77: This is an unserious book about a serious themes. And in the midst of its jokes, there would be these passages of prose that would catch me off guard in an amazing way. Excited to read some of his other work.

Book 76: For some reason I took a massive break from this book on the last story which was my favorite. Needless to say, loved these short stories from another GOAT. The title is fitting because they doing the same things 90 years later. But this also serves as an anthology of caution.

Book 75 (I think): an under the radar read for the GOAT, but this is so steeped in the moment of the 80s in which he was writing. And it’s classic reportage/ long form essay as opposed to a book don’t was hard to get into. But this theme of humanity is present in a way his other works isn’t.
