Overview
In eight highly praised treatises on beauty, media, money, and more, Tressie McMillan Cottomāaward-winning professor and acclaimed author of Lower Edāis unapologetically āthickā: deemed āthick where I should have been thin, more where I should have been less,ā McMillan Cottom refuses to shy away from blending the personal with the political, from bringing her full self and voice to the fore of her analytical work. Thick ātransforms narrative moments into analyses of whiteness, black misogyny, and status-signaling as means of survival for black womenā (Los Angeles Review of Books) with āwriting that is as deft as it is amusingā (Darnell L. Moore).
This ātransgressive, provocative, and brilliantā (Roxane Gay) collection cements McMillan Cottomās position as a public thinker capable of shedding new light on what the āpersonal essayā can do. She turns her chosen form into a showcase for her critical dexterity, investigating everything from Saturday Night Live, LinkedIn, and BBQ Becky to sexual violence, infant mortality, and Trump rallies.
Collected in an indispensable volume that speaks to the everywoman and the erudite alike, these unforgettable essays never fail to be āpainfully honest and gloriously affirmingā and hold āa mirror to your soul and to that of Americaā (Dorothy Roberts).
