sparse black whimsy: a memoir

by Marcus Scott Williams

"In Sparse Black Whimsy , msw is sliding confidently -- excuse me, bonfidently -- through the stylistic door unlocked by Junot Diaz. Equal parts George Saunders & Young Thug, the short is as sensitive in its poetic examinations of the rollercoaster millennial condition as it is playful in its trappish pig-latin. Take a moment to spark one to the tune of this literary mixtape dedicated to the feeling of the sun on your skin, & maybe prep a genius.com tab. Energetic & fresh, Sparse Black Whimsy is sure to leave you waiting for Williams' next album to drop. " - Will Meier
