I'm excited to read about the adventures of Fang "kill all the fantasy Japanese in magical genocide" Runin book 2.

There's also Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead which of course won't be able to be discussed on /lit/ because it's also by an African American but unlike BLRW it's not even an SFF book and deals explicitly with racism.

>but what about muh white guys
I'm waiting for Nathan Hill to come out with another book.

A brief history of seven killings was fantastic and deserved every accolade it received
