HTML:<b>From the writer crowned one of the smartest, funniest voices in modern America, this hotly anticipated debut collection of essays offers âa precious glimpse into how Ziweâs uniquely fearless mind functionsâ (<i>New York Magazine</i>)</b><br /> Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In <i>Black Friend</i>, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories, which grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.<br /> From <i>Black Friendâs </i>Introduction:<br /> âToday, I learned that my book is ranked as the #1 new release in âDiscrimination and Racismâ on Amazon. Wow. This is a huge honor, especially considering my stiff competition in the selfpublished manifestos space. Unfortunately, this victory is bittersweet. I worry that people may get the wrong idea and think that I am pro-racism when in actuality, I am indifferent. Still, Iâd love to thank everyone who made this possible. I solemnly swear to write the most discriminatory book in American history. I hope I can make you proud.<br /> âJust kidding . . . I will not marginalize you . . . unless thatâs your kink. This book of essays offers moments of extreme discomfort (and the subsequent growth) in my life around the role of âblack friend.â Black friends come in all shapes and sizes. Yet the archetype is often a two-dimensional character meant to support the non-black protagonistsâ more complex humanity. Some black friends exist as the comic relief, like Donkey in any of the <i>Shrek</i> movies. Some are the sassy friend, like Louise from St. Louis in <i>Sex and the City</i>. Still others are the inexplicably sagacious companion, like Morpheus in <i>The Matrix</i>. Itâs impossible for these individual portraits to reflect my complicated reality. To start, they are fictional. One of them is a talking ass. I do not exist just to move plot. While I am a supportive friend, I am not a supporting character. I am the protagonist of my perfectly imperfect story.âÂ.
