Black Folk Could Fly: Selected Writings by Randall Kenan
Randall Kenan (Author) Tayari Jones (Introduction by)
“Virtuosic in his use of literary forms, nurtured and unbounded by his identities as a Black man, a gay man, an intellectual, and a Southerner, Randall Kenan was known for his groundbreaking fiction. Less visible were his extraordinary nonfiction essays, published as introductions to anthologies and in small journals, revealing countless facets of Kenan’s life and work.
Flying under the radar, these writings were his most personal and autobiographical {…] This powerful collection is a testament to a great mind, a great soul, and a great writer from whom readers will always wish to have more to read.”
