We welcome Tyrese Coleman (How to Sit) to discuss the 1999 Sister Souljah novel The Coldest Winter Ever. We talk about the genre of street lit, and why some Black authors celebrate it while others bristle at being included in it. We also revisit Percival Everett's satirical novel Erasure, and wonder whether this Sister Souljah book inspired it.  If you enjoy the show, and would like more Book Fight in your live, you can join our Patreon for only $5 a month. Join soon and you can catch our next installment in The Hunt for the Worst Book of All Time: Heaven is for Real: https://www.patreon.com/BookFight

Ep 389: Tyrese Coleman

I talk to Tyrese Coleman, author of How to Sit (Mason Jar Press), which was recently named a finalist for the PEN Open Book Award. She's also a lawyer for the USDA, and a mother of twins, so we had lots of things to talk about in terms of work-life balance, and how to make space for your creative work while juggling a career and a family.  Tyrese's website: https://tyresecoleman.com/ Tyrese on Twitter: @tylachelleco Buy Tyrese's book from Mason Jar Press: http://www.masonjarpress.xyz/chapbooks-1/how-to-sit
