Buck by MK Asante
A memoir of the life of rapper/writer, MK Asante. He is the product of African immigrants. His father is a renowned professor, but somehow Asante found his way to the mean streets of Philadelphia, immersing himself into the underworld of drugs and violence. It was his discovery of books that literally changed the trajectory of his life. Listen to an interview I did with MK in 2015:
A former sports and news reporter with the New York Daily News for 16 years, Karen served four of those years on the editorial board of The News, where she was a member of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize- and Polk Award-winning teams. She was also the paper’s first African-American female news columnist. As the head of Karen Hunter Books (KHB), an imprint with Simon & Schuster, Karen has published No. 1 New York Times bestseller True You by pop icon Janet Jackson, New York Times bestselling Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian by Kris Jenner
