Friday Black
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah · 2018
Dystopian satires of race and consumerism. Black Friday becomes a literal bloodbath. Adjei-Brenyah's debut hits like a bat.
The case against
Adjei-Brenyah has one move, escalating a metaphor into literal carnage, and he runs it in nearly every story: racism becomes a chainsaw acquittal, consumerism becomes shoppers trampled at the mall doors. The premises detonate on page one and the endings rarely add a second thought. Satire this loud leaves you nothing to figure out.
