Omschrijving
A rhapsodic and provocative collection of essays on race, class, sexuality and identity in America
A rhapsodic and provocative collection of essays on race, class, sexuality and identity in America
Als has a serious claim to be regarded as the next James Baldwin
Effortless, fearless and honest
The first time you read Hilton Als, it's a revelation ... you wonder where this guy has been all your life ... He is both a startlingly insightful intellectual and a friendly, open and generous-spirited companion. It is the authenticity of his voice which makes him so compelling. That and the sheer dazzling brilliance of his writing, visceral and poetic, big-hearted, hot-headed and fierce'
Enlightening... a book you should read now
The variations he plays on the themes of identity, intimacy and race achieve a fugue-like complexity and power
Beautiful and deeply intelligent
A stunning analysis of contemporary culture ... undoubtedly one of the most important books of our times
Pioneering ... a mosaic of thoughts and observations, taking in the landscape of a New York ravaged by AIDS and his private grief for his lost lover, imagining silent film star Louise Brookes' drawling inner life, and examining his own complicated relationship with his sexuality and blackness
Magnificent
Stunning
Exhilarating ... Audacious
Brilliant
Mesmerising
This will be debated for years
This book will change you
I defy you to read this book and come away with a mind unchanged
An intersectional masterpiece of race and sexuality, fact and fiction, memoir and polemic. The book that allowed a generation to make radicalism full of beauty and emotion
