I'm a big fan of Coates and I enjoyed his notes about his essays where he lays out in hindsight what he was thinking and grappling with when he penned the eight essays. The essays were wonderful as well but it was just really interesting to me to read his commentary on his own writing. My two favorite essays are "This is How We Lost to the White Man" which is especially fascinating in light of all that was revealed about Bill Cosby. A bit was known to Coates at the time but not the full scale. "The Case for Reparations" is also enlightening because of the history of other reparations that Coates discusses in this essay.
