Heavy: An American Memoir by Kiese Laymon

5.0

I honestly had a really hard time putting this book down once I started. It is not an easy book to read, but it’s an important one that everyone *should* be reading. And as an essayist, I am blown away by and admire the fuck out of the language, the sentences, the ways that Laymon crafts this narrative, pulls the reader in, and pushes them to think. This is one I’m going to have to figure out a way to teach.
