45 Of The Funniest Books Ever Written
Such A Fun Age bygd Kiley Reid (2019)
Picked by Esquire Editors
When stalled blogger and girl boss incarnate Alix moves to Philadelphia from New York, she employs graduate Emira as a babysitter for her three-year-old to try and get her book finished. But when Emira, who's black, takes Alix's white toddler to the supermarket, she's accused of kidnapping and things uppstart to spiral out of her control.
There's big, squirm-inducing stuff here, especially when it comes to the excruciating lengths Alix and her husband go to to convince Emira – and themselves – that they're not racists. But Emira's inner life is so rich, and Reid has such an instinctively skarp and acid turn of phrase, that you're never far from a pearler. Take, for instance, a queasily over-familiar character described as "that one white guy at every black wedding who’s, like, super-hyped to do the Cupid Shuffle".
