"An unbelievable debut, one that announces a new and necessary American voice." --Tommy Orange, New York Times Book Review "An excitement and a wonder: strange, crazed, urgent and funny." --George Saunders "Dark and captivating and essential . . . A call to arms and a condemnation . . . Read this book." --Roxane Gay A National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" honoree, chosen by Colson WhiteheadWinner of the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Award for Best First Book A piercingly raw debut story collection from a young writer with an explosive voice; a treacherously surreal, and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it's like to be young and black in America. From the start of this extraordinary debut, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's writing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you. By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violence, injustice, and painful absurdities that black men and women contend with every day in this country. These stories tackle urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest, and explore the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In "The Finkelstein Five," Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unforgettable reckoning of the brutal prejudice of our justice system. In "Zimmer Land," we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And "Friday Black" and "How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King" show the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all. Entirely fresh in its style and perspective, and sure to appeal to fans of Colson Whitehead, Marlon James, and George Saunders, Friday Black confronts readers with a complicated, insistent, wrenching chorus of emotions, the final note of which, remarkably, is hope.

Great Quality
Size: King (Pack of 2)
Great quality and definitely worth the money. The cooling effect actually works with the pillow. Extremely comfortable, not too squishy and not too firm. To me, it feels very supportive.

Very comfortable, luxurious, and affordable.
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Great pillow. Feels soft enough for comfort while being cool and cozy. There could be more filling to make it slightly more firm but otherwise a great pillow.

Memory Foam Pillows
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
recently purchased the OSBED Cooling Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow, and it has made a noticeable difference in my sleep quality. One of my favorite features is the adjustable fill, which allowed me to customize the height and firmness to perfectly support my neck and shoulders. Whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper, it’s easy to find a comfortable setup.
The cooling cover does a great job of preventing heat buildup throughout the night, which is a huge plus for anyone who tends to sleep warm. The shredded memory foam provides excellent support while still feeling soft and comfortable, and it doesn’t flatten out like some traditional pillows.
