Ta-Nehisi Coates is an American writer whose work spans journalism, memoir, fiction, and comic books. He first gained wide attention with his essay writing at The Atlantic, where he covered race, politics, and culture. His 2015 book Between the World and Me, written as a letter to his son, won the National Book Award and became one of the most discussed works of non-fiction in recent years.
Coates has also had a significant career in comics, writing both Black Panther and Captain America for Marvel. His Black Panther run, which began in 2016 with A Nation Under Our Feet, brought a literary and political sensibility to superhero comics. His novel The Water Dancer (2019) tells the story of a young man born into slavery who discovers he has a mysterious power connected to memory and water. His most recent works include the essay collection The Message (2024).
