Jelani Cobb Instagram – I spoke to this author for exactly 58 minutes today. “This Life” is a startling, subtle novel written over the course of 3 years on the backs of prison admin documents by a man who has been in Angola Prison for 26 years for a $300 robbery committed when he was 19. It’s an astounding portrait of the social relationships of very different men navigating the common circumstances of incarceration. The book is out today and check out my New Yorker interview with Quntos coming next week. | Posted on 09/Jun/2021 02:10:00
