Ta-Nehisi Coates, deemed “one of the most elegant and sharp observers of race in America” by Judge Hendrick Hertzberg will be in Seattle this month!

Available in the Popular Collection. . .

Between the World and Me has received significant notoriety by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and author Isabel Wilkerson. The profound work is a personal literary investigation of our nation’s understanding of “race” in the form of a letter to Coates’ adolescent son. Through neatly woven pieces of history and experience, Coates boldly confronts the crucial concerns of the present with a sense of urgency. Heralded as what should be “required reading” by Toni Morrison, Between the World and Me is sure to be one of the most important books of our generation.
