Book Description
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a good white person of liberal leanings must be in want of a Black friend. In the biting, hilarious vein of What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life comes Ben Philippe’s candid memoir-in-essays, chronicling a lifetime of being the Black friend (see also: foreign kid, boyfriend, coworker, student, teacher, roommate, enemy) in predominantly white spaces. In an era in which “I have many black friends” is often a medal of Wokeness, Ben hilariously chronicles the experience of being on the receiving end of those fist bumps. He takes us through his immigrant childhood, from wanting nothing more than friends to sit with at lunch, to his awkward teenage years, to college in the age of Obama, and adulthood in the Trump administration—two sides of the same American coin. Ben takes his role as your new black friend seriously, providing original and borrowed wisdom on stereotypes, slurs, the whole “swimming thing,” how much Beyoncé is too much Beyoncé, Black Girl Magic, the rise of the Karens, affirmative action, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other conversations you might want to have with your new BBFF. Oscillating between the impulse to be "one of the good ones" and the occasional need to excuse himself to the restrooms, stuff his mouth with toilet paper, and scream, Ben navigates his own Blackness as an "Oreo" with too many opinions for his father’s liking, an encyclopedic knowledge of CW teen dramas, and a mouth he can't always control. From cheating his way out of swim tests to discovering stray family members in unlikely places, he finds the punchline in the serious while acknowledging the blunt truths of existing as a Black man in today’s world. Extremely timely, Sure, I’ll Be Your Black Friend is a conversational take on topics both light and heavy, universal and deeply personal, which reveals incisive truths about the need for connection in all of us.

Book Description
The Race of Her Life, the sequel to Len Cohen's exciting first novel Madam Chairman, once again places political leader, Micki Feldsher, into a life-threatening situation. Unaware of the personal risk, she competes for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives and becomes a target of terrorists. The American branch of al-Qaeda, scheming to build their influence in the Congress, has co-opted her opponent, and is prepared to kill (remove) Micki to ensure his election. To camouflage their many removals as accidents, the terrorists employ unique murder weapons: disease-carrying, stinging insects and flesh-eating microbes, which they remotely activate and control using beams of tailored, electromagnetic radiation. Micki knows that her under-funded campaign is a long-shot. But shortly before the election, on orders from his al-Qaeda handlers, her opponent publicly attacks her as a tool of Israel. The resulting flood of publicity from the national media energizes Micki's campaign. As Micki's poll numbers surge, the terrorist threat inevitably emerges. Micki's husband, Ben, is alerted to the imminent danger when his inquisitiveness reveals a surprising number of fatalities among Congressional hopefuls in incidents involving bees and mosquitoes. He gathers evidence to establish the murderous methodology, and undertakes to convince the FBI to pursue the perpetrators. The race for Micki's life is joined.
