Cool quote from BLACK FRIDAY by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

There's a lot to love about Black Friday. But I will say that it's really easy to see the influence of George Saunders on Adjei-Brenyah's stories. It'll be interesting to see where he goes once that influence wears off. In the meantime, I really liked this insightful moment from the book:

"I think having had money, and then having lost it, and had it again, and lost it some more, some older people kind of just say, Screw it, I’m going to smile."
