![]() ![]() ![]() Through adversity, Saeed Jones still manages to find a path to remain whole and resolute-within the tears, he finds purpose. “An exciting declaration of passion and tenacity, and what it’s like to be young, gifted, black, and queer in an America where every corner is marked with the specter of hatred, ignorance, and tragedy. Eugenia Vela, BookPeople, Austin, TX Summer 2020 Reading Group Indie Next List How We Fight for Our Lives is raw, difficult, and truthful, and completely stuffed with love.” We also gain insight to Jones’ relationship with his mother, a story that left me in pieces by the end. How We Fight for Our Lives is a moving and intimate portrait of the writer growing up as a young, gay black man and trying to understand the complex realities of his identity. I did NOT expect, however, to be left immobile in my chair after reading that final paragraph, processing the beauty of his words and those indelible sentences he’s generous enough to share with us. ![]() “Saeed Jones is supremely talented, so I expected his memoir to be great. ![]()

If you think about it, Rogers exemplified the qualities we most desperately need now: neighborliness, gentleness, deep listening, creativity, emotional honesty, lack of pretense, and an unceasing focus on raising healthy and curious and confident children. I may or may not have had a slow drip of tears going through the whole film. Last year, a profoundly moving documentary called Won’t You Be My Neighbor? was released to huge critical acclaim.

In her travels across the Middle East and North Africa, she documents her chilling run-ins with various intelligence services and shows why the Arab Spring never lived up to its promise. In this compelling and evocative memoir, we accompany Mekhennet as she journeys behind the lines of jihad, starting in the German neighborhoods where the 9/11 plotters were radicalized and the Iraqi neighborhoods where Sunnis and Shia turned against one another, and culminating on the Turkish/Syrian border region where ISIS is a daily presence. She has also sought to provide a mediating voice between these cultures, which too often misunderstand each other.

But he really had died for Barabbas, no one could deny it!So the reactions of Barabbas – relief, disbelief, morbid curiosity, survivor's guilt – become a kind of study in what Christian dogma might imply for the human mind. Telling people that this man went through agony, and then died, on your behalf, whether you like it or not, is a heavy load to lay on someone and entails a serious amount of what I suppose psychologists would call guilt.What's very clever about this book is that Pär Lagerkvist has found a way to examine this idea which works whether or not you believe in the metaphysics: Barabbas, the man acquitted in Jesus's place, is someone in whom the central myth of Christianity is literally true. ![]() I understand that some people find it very touching and beautiful, but I find it difficult to see it that way.
