Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution to Collections
Elie Mystal (Author)
“A tour de force from the Explainer-in-Chief of American law! Mystal’s sharp wit entertains and educates about some of the greatest misconceptions of Constitutional scholarship and travesties in American justice.”
–Malcolm Nance, bestselling author of The Plot to Hack America
“I loved Allow Me to Retort. It’s a powerful and important book of brightly alive ideas. Mystal deconstructs tired arguments and failed positions with his signature intelligence, humor, grace, and extraordinary wit. His big brain, bright ideas and fierce advocacy for what is right are an antidote to the poison of our current political system.”
–Don Winslow, bestselling author of The Border
“Elie Mystal is the funniest lawyer in America. Allow Me to Retort is brisk and brutal, sharply argued, full of both laugh-out-loud lines and righteous fury.”
–Matt Levine, “Money Stuff” columnist, Bloomberg Opinion
“In Elie Mystal, we, the people, have a smart and funny legal pugilist. Allow Me to Retort is the people’s guide to today’s battles over the use, misuse, and abuse of the Constitution, and how we can actually secure justice for all.”
–Dan Berger, professor of comparative ethnic studies, University of Washington, and author of Rethinking the American Prison movement
