This collection of essays and writings posesses a hipster charm. BlAckBook is a fashion magazine. This threw me off at first for I care little for fashion or why people write about it. I bought it for the names of so many great writers. It was a worthwhile read. The worst of the book being about things I would expect from such a neo-hipster movement: Being bourgeois, denying one's own identity as bourgeios. Yet the further you read the more insight you get. Some satires spotted through memoir-esque retellings and curiois essays make the book wholly entertaining.
