In his works I Can’t Date Jesus and I Don’t Want to Die Poor, Michael Arceneaux has carved out a niche for himself as one of the most cherished and engaging authors of his era, addressing such pressing issues as race, class, sexuality, labor, debt, and, naturally, honoring the strength and insight of Beyoncé. In this anthology, Arceneaux assesses the distance he has traversed—and the territory he still needs to navigate in this male-dominated, heteronormative society.
He delves into the prospects available to Black artists but also the barriers that remain firmly in place or slightly open; the perplexing dilemmas of dating in an era when social media has made everything both more reachable and more unpredictable; and the temptation of returning home while continuing to chase opportunities elsewhere.
Much as it pains me to still see some still criticize Black folks for buying Jordans instead of whatever they’re selling, I feel even better about changing my third book title to “I Finally Bought Some Jordans.”
