| Abstract: |
The article focuses on enhancing readers' advisory (RA) services for nonfiction literature, particularly through the lens of Hanif Abdurraqib's book, *A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance*. It discusses the evolution of nonfiction RA, highlighting the importance of appeal factors beyond traditional subject headings, and introduces the concept of "Whole Collection RA," which integrates various formats and genres to provide a more comprehensive reading experience. The article also emphasizes the creation of companion reading lists that connect readers to related topics and figures mentioned in Abdurraqib's work, thereby enriching their understanding and exploration of the themes presented.
