| Summary, etc.: | From Sojourner Truth to Colson Whitehead, this is a testiment to the powerful tradition of humor in African-American writing. Paul Beatty compares his anthology to a mix tape dubbed by a trusted friend--a sampler of underground classics, rare grooves, and timeless summer jams, poetry and prose juxtaposed with the blues, hip-hop, political speeches, and the world's funniest radio sermon. |
