The ābrilliantly wryā (Lena Dunham) and ālovably awkwardā (Mindy Kaling) New York Times bestseller from the creator of HBOās Insecure.
In this "delightfully deadpan" (Essence) bestseller named for her wildly popular web series, Issa Rae waxes humorously on what itās like to be unabashedly awkward in a world that regards introverts as hapless misfits and black as cool.
Iām awkwardāand black. Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be. That someone was right. Where do I start?
Being an introvert (as well as āfunny,ā according to the Los Angeles Times) in a world that glorifies cool isnāt easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Award-winning hit series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, is that introvertāwhether sheās navigating love, the workplace, friendships, or ārappingāāit sure is entertaining. Now, in this New York Times bestselling debut collection written in her witty and self-deprecating voice, Rae covers everything from cybersexing in the early days of the Internet to deflecting unsolicited comments on weight gain, from navigating the perils of eating out alone and public displays of affection to learning to accept yourselfānatural hair and all.
The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a book no oneāawkward or cool, black, white, or otherāwill want to miss.
