'An excitement and a wonder' George Saunders

'The fiction debut of the year. Bravo young man. We await your encore' Mary Karr

'The writing in this outstanding collection will make you hurt and demand your hope' Roxane Gay

Racism, but "managed" through virtual reality. Black Friday, except you die in a bargain-crazed throng. Happiness, but pharmacological. Love, despite everything.

Friday Black tackles urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest, and explores the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In the first, unforgettable story of this collection, The Finkelstein Five, Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unstinting reckoning of the brutal prejudice of the US justice system. In Zimmer Land we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And Friday Black and How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King show the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all.

Fresh, exciting, vital and contemporary, Friday Black will appeal to people who love Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad, the TV show Black Mirror, the work of Kurt Vonnegut and George Saunders, and anyone looking for stories that speak to the world we live in now.

Like any anthology book the stories range in quality, but even the worst one is well performed and compelling in concept. A few of these I know I’ll be coming back to, with my favourites probably being the first and the last that bookend this collection

Race, Class, and the American Nightmare

Fantastic book

Powerful stories, very well read., with clear references to the current state of racism, particularly in the US. It led me to look for more african/black scifi. Highly recommended.

Powerful social sci-fi

I don’t know what to think about this book. Awful! I stopped in the middle. Very disturbing.

It’s sick!
