"You are growing into consciousness, and my wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people comfortable": First Edition of Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me
First edition of this profound work. Octavo, original black boards. Near fine in a fine dust jacket. Light rubbing to the extremities. Jacket design by Greg Mollica. Author photograph by Nina Subin.
Written as an open letter to Coates's son, 'Between the World and Me' seeks to answer difficult questions about what it means to inhabit a black body in America - past, present, and future. "I've been wondering who might fill the intellectual void that plagued me after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates. The language of 'Between the World and Me,' like Coates's journey, is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive. And its examination of the hazards and hopes of black male life is as profound as it is revelatory. This is required reading" (Toni Morrison).
