The revised edition of Kiese Laymon’s HOW TO SLOWLY KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN AMERICA is one of the most anticipated releases of November, appearing on must-read lists in Book Riot, the Washington Independent Review of Books, and the Millions. The Atlanta Journal Constitution writes that the essay collection “reflects the current moment…[and] in so doing it also reflects the bitter past.” Meanwhile, while a starred review from Library Journal calls the book “[a] profound work…moving and meditative, this reckoning on Blackness, manhood, and self adds to Laymon's legacy as an influential writer." Scribner will publish the book on November 10, 2020.
