How we fight for our lives : a memoir / Saeed Jones. - New York : Simon & Schuster Paperbacks, 2020. - xviii, 192 pages ; 21 cm.
Originally published: New York: Simon & Schuster.
Haunted and haunting, 'How We Fight for Our Lives' is a coming-of-age memoir. 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 that chart a course across the American landscape, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescence - into 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 another - and to one another - as we fight to become ourselves.
