Air Traffic: A Memoir of Ambition and Manhood in America

Had this book not been picked for me, I would not have read it. I enjoy a good memoir, and this one was OK, but was constructed more as a series of essays, and it became somewhat disconnected. I enjoyed the author’s writing, although he does tend to love to show off his vast vocabulary. All of that aside, it is the author’s insights into black America and what it is to be a black man in America, that make this a book worth reading.
