4.0

I’ve been following JP Brammer on the internet, where he lives, for awhile now. His voice is just so warm, funny, cutting when needed.

His journey navigating his racialized identity resonated in particular- being at first oblivious, then all too aware, latching on too hard, misguidedly looking for a shallow kind of Authenticity. And he so vividly captures the terror of homophobic, racist small town America.

Beautiful, tender, heavy; a lovely little balm for the soul still trying to find themselves.
