¡°I¡¯ve been wondering who might fill the intellectual void that plagued me after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates. The language of Between the World and Me, like Coates¡¯s journey, is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive. And its examination of the hazards and hopes of black male life is as profound as it is revelatory.¡±-Toni Morrison

¡°An eloquent blend of history, reportage, and memoir.¡±-The Boston Globe
¡°[Coates] speaks resolutely and vividly to all of black America.¡±-Los Angeles Times
