Heads of the Colored People
A teenager is blatantly bullied as her YouTube following grows; an assistant professor finds himself losing the war against his office mate; a nurse is worn down by the demand for her talent as a funeral singer. Across a series of stories, a young woman grows up negotiating and renegotiating her identity. This electric collection of short stories marks the arrival of an urgent new voice.

“Satirical and courageous, this short story collection explores black life from one of America’s rising stars. The stories feel like a smack, than a kiss; like a strike, than a balm. There’s nothing else like it.”
