Whiting Award winner Brontez Purnell’s debut novel offers an uninhibited portrait of growing up gay in 1980s Alabama. When the protagonist, DeShawn, returns to his cramped hometown for a funeral, he is confronted by the intersections of memory, Blackness, and queerness. The narrative serves as a raw, searing exploration of family dynamics, religious upbringing, and the complex search for self-realization within a restrictive cultural landscape.
