 n essay collection from culture critic Lawrence Burney that is a personal 
 and analytical look at his home city of Baltimore\, music from throughout 
 the global Black diaspora\, and the traditions that raised him. For fans o
 f Hanif Abdurraqib\, Kiese Laymon\, and Isaac Fitzgerald. There are moment
 s throughout our lives when we discover an artist\, an album\, a film\, or
  a cultural artifact that leaves a lasting impression\, helping inform how
  we understand the world\, and ourselves\, moving forward.&nbsp\;In&nbsp\;
 No&nbsp\;Sense&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Wishing\, Lawrence Burney explores these pro
 found interactions with incisive and energizing prose\, offering us a pers
 onal and critical perspective on the people\, places\, music\, and art tha
 t transformed him.&nbsp\;In&nbsp\;a time when music is spearheading Black 
 Americans' connection with Africans on The Continent\, Burney takes trips 
 to cover the bubbling creative scenes&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Lagos and Johannesbur
 g that inspire teary-eyed reflections of self and belonging. Seeing his mo
 ther perform as the opening act at a Gil Scott-Heron show as a child inspi
 res an essay about parent-child relationships and how personal taste is of
 ten inherited. And a Maryland crab feast with family facilitates an assess
 ment of how the Black people&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;his home state have historical
 ly improvised paths for their liberation. Taking us on a journey from the 
 streets of Baltimore to the concert halls of Lagos\,&nbsp\;No&nbsp\;Sense&
 nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Wishing&nbsp\;is a kaleidoscopic exploration of Burney's se
 arch for self. With its gutsy and uncompromising criticism alongside intim
 ate personal storytelling\, it's like an album that hits all the right not
 es\, from a promising writer on the rise. ~From Catalog.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>B
