The writing here is phenomenal, so despite focusing on a topic I don't have a lot of thoughts on (music/music culture) I ate this up. This approaches the topics from the viewpoint of a Black man who is intimately connected to and influenced by the music worlds he exists in. The audio is read by the author and he has conversational interstitials amidst the essays with background information. I loved this, tho I imagine someone who feels strongly on the music covered here may have more to say. ( ) 5 stars plus infinity. I laughed, cried, reflected, raged, felt both massive guilt and massive pride. I have never read something so emotionally raw and truthful. I do not have the gift for words that Hanif does, so it is absolutely impossible for me to review this. All I can say is that I am grateful that this beautiful man shared his soul. I will read this book over and over. Goodreads tells me that I've been reading They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us since 2017. Which is to say I've been reading and rereading and afraid to mark as "read' a book that feels like something I can't put away. I'm marking it as read, but I think I'll just keep reading it forever. If you haven't read it yet, I hope you do. I hope you don't figure out how to stop reading it for years. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Whether he's attending a Bruce Springsteen concert the day after visiting Michael Brown's grave, or discussing public displays of affection at a Carly Rae Jepsen show, he writes with a poignancy and magnetism that resonates profoundly. In the wake of the nightclub attacks in Paris, he recalls how he sought refuge as a teenager in music, at shows, and wonders whether the next generation of young Muslims will not be afforded that opportunity now. While discussing the everyday threat to the lives of black Americans, Abdurraqib recounts the first time he was ordered to the ground by police officers: for attempting to enter his own car. In essays that have been published by the New York Times, MTV, and Pitchfork, among others along with original, previously unreleased essays Abdurraqib uses music and culture as a lens through which to view our world, so that we might better understand ourselves, and in so doing proves himself a bellwether for our times. "Funny, painful, precise, desperate, and loving throughout. Not a day has sounded the same since I read him." Greil Marcus,. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
