*Heavy: An American Memoir
In this powerful and provocative memoir genre bending essayist and novelist 'Kiese Laymon', explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies and deception does to a black body, a black family and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse.
Laymon invites us to consider the consequences of growing up in a nation wholly obsessed with progress yet wholly disinterested in the messy work of reckoning with where we’ve been.
Personal stories combine with piercing intellect to reflect both on the state of American society and on his experiences with abuse which conjure conflicted feelings of shame, joy, confusion and humiliation.
