I was just stunned by this book--I listened on #scribd, and Laymon reads his own memoir, which he addresses to his mother. He contends with abuse, heritage, expectations both high and low, and heaviness of all kinds. His account of his life is vulnerable and honest and unflinching in its look at his own weaknesses but also in his journey into finding his own strength. Beautiful, powerful, heartbreaking, heartwarming memoir.

BlameJennyJane Finishing this audiobook myself- an hour to go as I right this. Amazing. 6y
UnabridgedPod @BlameJennyJane Agreed. And I am so glad I listened—Laymon‘s reading is powerful. 6y
BlameJennyJane @Unabridged definitely powerful. He makes me think about my own privilege and addictions and provides a window into the Black male experience in a way I‘ve never before been granted access. 6y

This is going to be one of the most significant and well written books I have ever read. I am half way through and I don‘t even know what to do with myself; this book makes me want to DO SOMETHING that matters. Mark my words, this book is going to win some shit. Watch for stickers when it when it runs its second printing. #heavyisheavy #kieselaymon
