The Message

With his bestseller, Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates established himself as a unique voice in his generation of American authors. In his keenly anticipated new book, The Message, he explores the urgent question of how our stories - our reporting, imaginative narratives and mythmaking - both expose and distort our realities. Travelling to three resonant sites of conflict, he illuminates how the stories we tell - as well as the ones we don't - work to shape us.
