In this powerful, provocative, and universally lauded memoir—winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for literature—genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon “provocatively meditates on his trauma growing up as a black man, and in turn crafts an essential polemic against American moral rot” (Entertainment Weekly). Named a Best Book of 2018 by the New York TimesPublishers Weekly, NPR, Broadly, Buzzfeed (Nonfiction), The Undefeated, Library Journal  (Biography/Memoirs), The Washington Post (Nonfiction), Southern Living (Southern), Entertainment Weekly, and The New York Times Critics.
