Jenny Fran Davis: My Novel’s Clique: Jenny Fran Davis’s Bookshelf for 'Dykette' (0 comment)
I read a wide range of literature, from “chick lit” to heady nonfiction, and when I love a book, I begin to think of it as a friend. It also inspires me in one way or another: its tone, its sensibility, its cadence, its structure, or its voice....

Synopsis

Literary Nonfiction. African American Studies. Suspended between continents and cultures, Donald Quist charts the forceful undercurrents of an American identity. Through these essays Quist explores feelings of oppression and alienation as he wrestles with a single act of violence in a Washington, DC suburb, racial tensions in a rural South Carolina town, and the welcome anonymity of crowded Bangkok streets. These personal narratives are rich with Quist's experience growing up as a person of color caught between parents, socioeconomic classes, and the countries he calls home. "In HARBORS, Donald Quist gathers those moments of clarity that shape one man's consciousness about the black experience in a global environment. Whether it's growing up in the American South or seeking adventure in places as far away as Thailand, there's no escaping the fixed perceptions about class, race, and masculinity. Quist's poignant essays show us, however, what it's like to move through tension, conflict, and microaggression with hard-won dignity and grace not unscathed, not unfazed, though certainly undefeated. A timely stellar collection " Rigoberto Gonzalez"
