pickMay 2025 #AuthorAMonth #Read2025 For the first few minutes I wasn‘t sure if I liked this book, but I quickly turned around into loving it. It is the story of a young man‘s life and how as a middle aged man he comes to understand why he became the person his and finally comes to peace with his past and himself. It also is a story of love, family, friendship, and art. There is a subtle allusion to his race while he was in graduate school (cont)⬇️
CatLass007 while sharing a house with his white best friend in a Black neighborhood in Philadelphia. On a return flight from El Salvador 1979 he is profiled by Customs, a nerve-wracking experience for him and for me as a reader. As a white woman I have never been a victim of racial discrimination but the book is enlightening in that respect. Recommended! 1d
