“Thick is sure to become a classic.”
—The New York Times Book Review
Smart, humorous, and strikingly original essays by one of “America’s most bracing thinkers on race, gender, and capitalism of our time” (Rebecca Traister)
In these eight piercing explorations on beauty, media, money, and more, Tressie McMillan Cottom—award-winning professor and acclaimed author of Lower Ed—embraces her venerated role as a purveyor of wit, wisdom, and Black Twitter snark about all that is right and much that is wrong with this thing we call society.
Ideas and identity fuse effortlessly in this vibrant collection that on bookshelves is just as at home alongside Rebecca Solnit and bell hooks as it is beside Jeff Chang and Janet Mock. It also fills an important void on those very shelves: a modern black American feminist voice waxing poetic on self and society, serving up a healthy portion of clever prose and southern aphorisms as she covers everything from Saturday Night Live, LinkedIn, and BBQ Becky to sexual violence, infant mortality, and Trump rallies. Thick speaks fearlessly to a range of topics and is far more genre-bending than a typical compendium of personal essays.
An intrepid intellectual force hailed by the likes of Trevor Noah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Oprah, Tressie McMillan Cottom is “among America’s most bracing thinkers on race, gender, and capitalism of our time” (Rebecca Traister). This stunning debut collection—in all its intersectional glory—mines for meaning in places many of us miss, and reveals precisely how the political, the social, and the personal are almost always one and the same.
Powerful and important book This book of essays is stunning and stellar and needed during this era. Dr. Cottom exposes the hard truth and speaks to power and the realities of what has and has not changed over time in the U.S. I highly recommend the book.Read This and Enjoy Your Discomfort I bought this book immediately after seeing the author on The Daily Show (episode of 1/15/19) and devoured it in two days. These essays deftly weave data and personal narrative in such a compelling way that you find yourself agreeing with every argument she makes.They are not easy to read from an emotional standpoint, but they are supremely enjoyable to read from a literary one. McMillan-Cotton's voice is one you want to listen to. Even as you may cringe at the subject matter (and your complicity in it).Essential! I cried real tears on a subway just reading Tressie McMillan Cottom's introduction to this book. Then cried harder at home, when I dug into the essays. And then laughed out loud as I polished off the last one, and was sad that it was already over. Tressie is a treasure and this collection is a gem. She connects, in every meaning of the word--the book is packed with lines that hit like a gut punch and overflowing with real human emotion. You won't be disappointed.
