And his career took off…
When reading a book by a comedian, one might expect to laugh, right?
“The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell” just isn’t that kind of book, oddly enough. While there are some chuckles here, and an LOL or two, the heart of author W. Kamau Bell’s book is more introspective than not. That could be a disappointment for readers looking for an escape, with belly-laughs.
That’s not to say that this book isn’t enjoyable, because it is. Bell is perfectly willing to poke fun at himself while examining late-1970’s pop culture, Blackness (always with a capital “B”), marriage (to a White woman), parenting, and politics.
