Couverture / Jaquette

"Samuel L. Jackson's embodiment of cool isn't just inspirational--it's important. [This book] lays out how his attitude intersects with his identity as a Black man, why being cool matters in the modern world, and how Jackson can guide us through the current cultural moment in which everyone is losing their cool. Edwards details Jackson's ... personal history, from stuttering bookworm to gunrunning revolutionary to freebasing addict to A-list movie star"--Dust jacket flap.
