Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Excellent collection of essays. Kiser is a fantasy writer ( ) This collection originally preceded "Heavy," includes new material, and has been revised. So you'll see the author's progression from a young man overwhelmed by all there is to understand, explain, and protest about his young life and the lives of his family and community to one of the most eloquent memoirists in America today. Every time Kiese Laymon muses on making "healthy choices" I smile. It seems like such a huge understatement of his efforts to find his way. But if more folks could make healthy choices a priority in planning their lives, we might be a smarter, deeper people. Thanks Kiese Laymon. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
