They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

informative reflective medium-paced

---

A thoughtful and sprawling essay collection on music, race, grief, love, and culture. Many of the essays specifically relate the experience of listening, particularly at concerts, an approach I hadn't seen before. Abdurraqib's narration is beautiful, and you can clearly tell he's a poet. I have heard, however, that this one benefits from reading a physical copy, so I may have to revisit.
