Ta-Nehisi Coates Guest Edits ‘Vanity Fair’ September Issue

WOW. Fantastic!! ~ V

New York (CNN Business) – Award-winning author and writer Ta-Nehisi Coates will guest edit the September issue of Vanity Fair, the magazine’s editor-in-chief Radhika Jones told CNN Business in an exclusive interview.

The issue will focus on art, activism and power in 21st century America. Jones said she and Coates had been talking about the opportunity for a while. Vanity Fair profiled Coates for last year’s September issue.

I’ve been a great admirer of Ta-Nehisi’s work for many years. When he writes, he really sets an agenda for national conversation. We had been wanting to work with him for some time now and this project unfolded out of this dialogue, out of what we’ve all been seeing happening in our country for the last few months. It was a natural fit for me. ~ Radhika Jones

Coates gained notoriety for his critique of American culture and racial commentary, including a 2014 article for The Atlantic titled, “The Case for Reparations.” He is the author of Marvel’s “Black Panther” comic book series and of best-selling books including “Between the World and Me,” which HBO is adapting into a TV special. (HBO and CNN share a parent company in WarnerMedia.)
