“Unfiltered and Unapologetic: Discover the Provocative Journey of a Queer Black Voice in Brathwaite’s ‘Rage’!”
Rage offered me everything I look for in a memoir, things I suspect many readers both need and want: moments of laughter; tears of shared sorrow; new knowledge and wonderful trivia; and opportunities to think and learn more about ourselves. As a writer, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Brathwaite for sharing his intellect, his humor, and his honesty throughout, for beautifully illustrating how to share all of the human experience on the page.
