One of "17 Refreshing Books to Read This Summer" --The New York Times
"A masterwork, blending personal and family history with a historicized critique on blackness and masculinity.... Manages to do what only great memoirs of this scale can: to tell a story about himself that is also about America, one that feels true." --Vogue, "Best Books of Spring"
"The winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Gregory Pardlo also writes damn good prose....We often talk about Great American Novels, but Air Traffic is an excellent contender in the Great American Memoir category, an honest and touching look at what it's like to grow up black and male in this country." --Vulture, "Best Books of Spring"
"Magnificent and deeply affecting." --The Washington Post
