About

TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of R. Eric Thomas, Saeed Jones, Alexander Chee, essay collection enthusiasts and memoir lovers, comes RAGE, an essay collection about race, dating, love and the Black queer consciousness.

RAGE is a biting, darkly comedic essay collection that is equal parts, cultural critique, memoir and personal manifesto. A sort of "coming of rage" tale, if you will.

RAGE is divided into three parts. Part I will focus on rage as the source and seemingly inevitable outcome of Lester's sexual exploits and search for companionship within the gay male community. Part II will focus on white rage and its personal effects on Lester as well as the harm it does to society for queer people of color. Part III will focus on rage as an existential crisis of not only Lester's life but the American way of life, how it, like race, colors every aspect of day-to-day existence.

Lester's witty, conversational voice, coupled with his searing social commentary on topics such as dating, rejection, racism, sexuality, identity and more, will make for an enagaging and original read.
