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.

Perfect combination of humor, insight, and goo-goo-ga-ga! Touched on a lot of important subjects while relating to them via her own experiences or takes. Ziwe is hysterical and I loved turning to this when everything in the world feels like it’s falling apart— just the right amount of personal that wasn’t too heavy. Also her narration is so soothing and lovely.
