Heads of the Colored People

by
Nafissa Thompson-Spires

published in

2018
Cover art
November 6, 2018 Jeff R says:
Jarring twists, comic respites and wholly original characters are employed to examine the African-American experience in 21st-century America.
Contemporary and darkly humorous stories push boundaries and illuminate the simmering tensions and precariousness of black citizenship and concept of black identity in a post-racial era.

Jeff R

I am the library manager at Northwest Library. When I'm not reading fantastic books, I enjoy painting, writing, traveling and getting my hands dirty tinkering on vintage Italian scooters. My previous lives include time spent playing in punk rock bands, and working in the food service industry.
