Book cover of How We Fight for Our Lives: A Memoir, by Saeed JonesJoin the Adult Services department and the Pride Center of NJ for Rainbow Reads! We will be discussing the memoir How We Fight for Our Lives by Saeed Jones.

This program will take place at the Pride Center of New Jersey, 85 Raritan Ave #100, Highland Park.

Book description:

A stunning coming-of-age memoir about a young, black, gay man from the South as he fights to carve out a place for himself, within his family, within his country, within his own hopes, desires, and fears. An award-winning poet, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescence. Each piece builds into a larger examination of race and queerness, power and vulnerability, love and grief.
