Story4.5 out of 5 stars 215
Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that 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.

This book makes me mad. I'm mad that her show got cancelled. I'm mad that all I have now is this book and not wonderful clips of her interrogating not just race but concepts of gender and bringing new ways to be funny. I'm also mad that a 19 year old is my hero/role model.
This book was greater than I imagined it would be.
