![]() ![]() Each piece builds into a larger examination of race and queerness, power and vulnerability, love and grief: a portrait of what we all do for one another - and to one another - as we fight to be ourselves. ![]() Through a series of vignettes that chart a course across the American landscape, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescence - into tumultuous relationships with his mother and grandmother, into passing flings with lovers, friends, and strangers. Haunted and haunting, Jones memoir tells the story of a young, black, gay man from the South as he fights to carve out a place for himself, within his family, within his country, within his own hopes, desires, and fears. The I it seems doesnt exist until we are able to say, I am no longer yours. We sacrifice the people who dared to raise us. We sacrifice former versions of ourselves.
