Explanation Toward Books Black Card

With dark humor, Chris L. Terry’s Black Card is an uncompromising examination of American identity. In an effort to be “black enough,” a mixed-race punk rock musician indulges his own stereotypical views of African American life by doing what his white bandmates call “black stuff.” After remaining silent during a racist incident, the unnamed narrator has his Black Card revoked by Lucius, his guide through Richmond, Virginia, where Confederate flags and memorials are a part of everyday life.

Determined to win back his Black Card, the narrator sings rap songs at an all-white country music karaoke night, absorbs black pop culture, and attempts to date his black coworker Mona, who is attacked one night. The narrator becomes the prime suspect and earns the attention of John Donahue, a local police officer with a grudge dating back to high school. Forced to face his past, his relationship with his black father and white mother, and the real consequences and dangers of being black in America, the narrator must choose who he is before the world decides for him.

Black Card is the satirical story of a mixed-race punk rock musician who, determined to win back his coveted Black Card, is suspected of a violent crime in early 2000s Richmond, Virginia, and is confronted with the alienation and everyday aggressions experienced in an absurd world divided by race.

LOVE this book. What a total surprise. Couldn't put it down. I guess it's about racial identity, but for me it seemed like that time in life when if you're lucky you're figuring out who you are and accepting it. Good insight about the Richmond punk scene which i have no clue about.

Where do I start?!This book was riveting. I couldn't put it down. It was powerful, emotional and completely relatable. The characters are so we'll developed I felt like I was reading a story about my friends. I can't wait to see what Chris L. Terry writes next!

Blackness is not a coat a person can put on or take off at will. It is not the adoration of black musicians, athletes, comedians, or politicians. It is not inflecting one's language with black vernacular. And it most certainly is not skin color. Stereotypes and phenotypes fog Chris L. Terry's, Black Card, a novel ostensibly about the fantasy and mutability of race in twenty-first century America. Yet Terry, to his detriment, condemns this book to antiquated literary tropes, the saddest of all

Sort of corny and sort of good and a fun little read about race. I loved the authors voice and the main character. It sort of felt like reading Atlanta the TV show. I didnt get it all, and some didnt land, and it gets lost in the last 1/3 but over all I enjoyed it.

its easy to lose it when youre looking for yourself.4.5.Black Card is a satirical novel that reads almost like a memoir. It delicately explores life of a mixed race man living in the old confederate capitol of Richmond Va. Terry has created a work so searing and truthful that it makes you question the very logic which it defies. Facing off against topics on the hot stove of society these days and written with such complex fury that made it so effortless to fly through these pages. I also had a
