Book description
Review
Damon Young's That's How They Get You is a bold, unapologetic celebration of Black humor that feels both fresh and inevitable. From the opening page, you sense why this anthology matters: it brings together voices that have been shaping contemporary comedy-Hanif Abdurraqib, Mahogany L. Browne, Wyatt Cenac, Kiese Laymon, Deesha Philyaw, Roy Wood Jr., and Nicola Yoon-to craft essays, short stories, letters, and rants that are as razor-sharp as they are deeply human.
What makes this collection stand out is its unapologetic blend of wit and politics. Young doesn't shy away from tackling the paradoxes of community in "the dozens," the absurdity of a town's violent ritual, or the everyday indignities that lead to a national moral panic. He also explores lighter, yet equally potent topics-an email thread debating an updated Green Book for public toilets, or the sudden illegality of "Karens." Each piece is a micro-parody of contemporary life, yet they all converge on a single thesis: Black American humor possesses a unique ability to roast, ignite, and burn while simultaneously connecting us.
The prose feels conversational but never clumsy; it's as if you're listening to your friends share the most outrageous stories over coffee. Yet there is an undercurrent of political clarity that elevates the jokes-an acute awareness of America's anxieties coupled with stream-of-consciousness lucidity that keeps readers both laughing and thinking.
For anyone who believes humor is a vehicle for change, this anthology proves it in full color. Young's own introduction frames the collection as an essential reading for those who want to understand why Black comedy matters now more than ever. It's a groundbreaking work that will resonate with anyone who enjoys smart, sharp, and socially conscious wit.
