Many of us have spent the past year and a half online during the pandemic working, learning and connecting with others over Slack, Facebook and more - but what happens if you were suddenly stuck in your computer with absolutely no way out?

The last book I read was “Darryl” by Jackie Ess. It’s incredible -- it’s unlike anything I have ever read. It’s really great and Jackie is just incredible -- I have season tickets to Jackie Ess now. Everything she writes for as long as she’s is writing, I’m going to get the instant it is available. So she is great and Darryll is a blast and I don’t want to say anything about it because people should just read it and go on for the ride.

And Hanif Abdurraqib just put out “A Little Devil in America,” which is a history of Black performance and is just masterful. That guy is just incredibly prolific and he doesn’t miss. His previous work, “They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us” is, I think, already sort of a modern classic. I don’t think you can go wrong picking up anything Hanif has written.
