Heavy: An American Memoir

Cover of Heavy: An American Memoir
by Kiese Laymon
[2018]

Through self-exploration, storytelling, and honest conversation with family and friends, Heavy seeks to bring what has been hidden into the light and to reckon with all of its myriad sources, from the most intimate--a mother-child relationship--to the most universal--a society that has undervalued and abused black bodies for centuries
