Narrative of the Life of the Brown Boy and the White Man Reviews

Narrative of the Life of the Brown Boy and the White Man is a riveting interrogation of two men in a relationship. Ronaldo V. Wilson's prose poems are alternately tough and tender probes into the underbelly of their psyche. With audacity and wit, reminiscent of the work of Hilton Als, bell hooks, Franz Fanon and James Baldwin, Wilson uses narrative to decode sociopolitical narratives around race, sexuality, and class. Identity, Wilson seems to say, is only a collection of stories - the ones told about us in battle with the ones we tell ourselves. What we have here is palpable consciousness: a stunning achievement. - Claudia Rankine
