They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib

challenging emotional medium-paced

5.0

This collection of essays is structured really well, and flows from one to another in a way that kept me engaged. Drawing parallels between personal events and those of the musicians and athletes written about works as an entry point to making the personal more universal. Maybe I’m biased, because I’m in my 30s and grew up in the suburbs going to shows at local venues where I grew up, but the essays about those subcultures really resonated with me. The fall out boy one is gonna stick with me for a while.
