How We Fight for Our Lives: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION :
WINNER OF THE 2020 STONEWALL BOOK AWARD-ISRAEL FISHMAN NONFICTION AWARD
āJonesās voice and sensibility are so distinct that he turns one of the oldest of literary genres inside out and upside down.ā NPRāS Fresh Air
Jones 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. Through a series of vignettes, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescenceāinto tumultuous relationships with his family, into passing flings with lovers, friends, and strangers. 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 anotherāand to one anotherāas we fight to become ourselves.
An award-winning poet, Jones has developed a style thatās as beautiful as it is powerfulāa voice thatās by turns a river, a blues, and a nightscape set ablaze. How We Fight for Our Lives is a one-of-a-kind memoir and a book that cements Saeed Jones as an essential writer for our time.
