Hi, my name is Rachel, and this book sucker-punched me in the face.

Yup.
I'm on the floor.
That’s me.

Bye bye.
I AM DONE.

OKKKKKK. But seriously. What a ride this book (and audiobook) was. Part satire, part cautionary tale, BLACK BUCK is a fresh, smart, and original story about a Black man who finds himself learning some hard lessons about the dog-eat-dog world of sales in a white supremist society.

Super shout out for this book in audio format. The production of this audiobook is fantastic! So fantastic I didn’t even mind Zeno Robinson (the narrator) yelling at me like every other paragraph. HAH.

I would definitely recommend this one if you appreciate satire and/or need a little bit of a gut punch about the ways in which white society has wrung the necks of its melanated brothers and sisters. This book would be excellent for a book club.
