Ta-Nehisi Coates on The Great Gatsby
"I'm a sucker for efficiency. This book gets so much out of what is, ultimately, a rather slim story. I adore it."
Ta-Nehisi Coates on The Age of Innocence
"Again, I like this book for its willingness to embrace the tragic. No happy endings. The book is a defense of elitism, something I guess I oppose. But I found it credible, here."
Ta-Nehisi Coates on Battle Cry of Freedom
"The definitive history of the Civil War. One of the greatest works of history I've ever read and arguably the best one volume history in existence."
Ta-Nehisi Coates on The Fire Next Time
"Basically the finest essay I've ever read."
