Out of this time -- I do not want to alarm you -- Is this what dying looks like? -- Fred, do not be afraid -- You are my mortal enemy -- To fall, falling, and never land -- Help me, Anansi -- What Brer Rabbit did -- Surely I'm to be saved -- Hello, Miss Corona. Meet Mister Cancer -- The maddening pain -- The city is dying -- I listen and hear more -- I wake with his name on my tongue -- As long as I draw breath -- Juneteenth -- My father's body. |

| Summary, etc |
2020. The world around D'Aguiar was shattered by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests erupted across the United States, California burned... and D'Aguiar was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Here he confronts profound questions about the purpose of pursuing a life of writing and teaching in the face of overwhelming upheavals; the imaginative and artistic strategies a writer can bring to bear as his sense of self and community are severely tested; and the quest for strength and solace necessary to help forge a better future. The resulting memoir is a paean of resistance to despotic authority and life-threatening disease. -- adapted from jacket |
