You may know W. Kamau Bell from his new, Emmy-nominated hit show on CNN, United Shades of America. Or maybe youâ€™ve read about him in the New York Times, which called him â€œthe most promising new talent in political comedy in many years.â€ Or maybe from The New Yorker, fawning over his brand of humor writing: "Bellâ€™s gimmick is intersectional progressivism: he treats racial, gay, and womenâ€™s issues as inseparable."

After all this love and praise, itâ€™s time for the next step: a book. The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell is a humorous, well-informed take on the world today, tackling a wide range of issues, such as race relations; fatherhood; the state of law enforcement today; comedians and superheroes; right-wing politics; left-wing politics; failure; his interracial marriage; white men; his up-bringing by very strong-willed, race-conscious, yet ideologically opposite parents; his early days struggling to find his comedic voice, then his later days struggling to find his comedic voice; why he never seemed to fit in with the Black comedy scene . . . or the white comedy scene; how he was a Black nerd way before that became a thing; how it took his wife and an East Bay lesbian to teach him that racism and sexism often walk hand in hand; and much, much more.
