The Best Books Written by Black Women in 2018 — and Yes, They're All Magical

A short story collection that illuminates middle-class black life, Heads of the Colored People depicts the seemingly mundane with an unexpected twist. There's a woman who contemplates suicide for the 'gram and another whose passive-aggressive workplace antics leave even the reader feeling crazy. In the midst of the absurdity (and hilarity) of the pieces is beautiful writing, endearing characters, and moments that will stay with you long after you finish the book. In other words: read it, it's good.
