About this listen
In this podcast episode, the host introduces the book "Black Buck" by Mateo Askaripour. The book follows a young Black man named Darren who works at a Starbucks in Brooklyn but is offered a position at a startup company by a white CEO. Darren becomes the only Black person in the company and faces challenges as he tries to succeed without being tokenized. The host and author discuss tips for setting the reading mood, including finding a comfortable place to read and engaging all the senses. They also share a deleted scene from the book where Darren is asked to interview a Black woman for a job at the company. The episode ends with the author mentioning that he has another book coming out next year.
