Friday Black
Friday Black is a collection of stories that explores racism, cultural unrest, and the fight for humanity in a harsh world. The Finkelstein Five, the first of the stories, talks about the brutal prejudice of the US justice system, while Zimmer Land is an easy to believe imagining of racism as sport. Friday Black and How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King, reveal the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all. This fresh, exciting, and contemporary collection will appeal to fans of Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad, the TV show Black Mirror, and the works of Kurt Vonnegut and George Saunders.

“For fans of Kurt Vonnegut, these stories are close enough to reality, but not quite. You’ll recognize your own experiences in some of these stories, until the author takes you to unthinkable extremes. Stunningly satirical and sarcastic, with caustic humor and shocking content, this debut author has truly created something never read before.”
