What is the author's tone in the nonfiction book, How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America?

The tone of many of the essays is very consistent. This tone is one of introspection or reflection, whether it is about the author’s life, historical events, or people the author knows (or knew). Sometimes, along with this tone of reflection, comes anger. This angry tone is seen during essays that discuss the injustices done to African Americans, like in “How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America”.
