THICK And Other Essays

To listen to sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom narrate her prose confirms that no other narrator could do better. Her personal essays reflect both her lived experiences and the intersectional opposition she and others have faced. She cuts to the quick to discuss the ways in which dominant white cultural expectations invade her space, her body, and her mind. As narrator, Cottom is a divine spinner of tales who knows the right amount of sarcasm to add to certain words. She also knows the right words to express her points and delivers them in such a hypnotic rhythm that one does not want to stop listening. L.E. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2019]
