Mama's Boy: A Story from Our Americas by Dustin Lance Black

4.0

I listened to this memoir-esque book of the writer, director, and Academy-Award- winner of Milk. A tribute to his mother, Black writes about his childhood with an abusive father figure, his mom's lifelong perserverence with polio, his coming out and acceptance of himself as a gay man with a Mormon upbringing, and growing into his career in film. Black's cadence is at times reminiscent of a general authority's at Conference, I would caution listening to this one.
