Author Joel Lafayette Fletcher III examines his childhood on the campus of what is now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where his father, Joel Lafayette Fletcher Jr., was president for twenty-five years, to his time as a student at Tulane. The book follows Fletcher through his service as a naval officer-when he began to admit to himself, accept, and explore who he really was-to his life in Europe and, eventually, Virginia where he now resides. With Hawks and Angels intimately explores the life of a young man growing up in the racially segregated Deep South while coming to terms with being gay at a time when being out was not socially acceptable. Based on his personal journals and recollections and filled with the unique characters he met along the way, With Hawks and Angels is the culmination of writing that, for Fletcher, was a way of holding onto an important part of his true self that for many years he felt compelled to hide"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Fletcher, Joel Lafayette, $c III $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay men $z Louisiana $v Biography. 700 1 $a Dobie, Ann B., $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fletcher, Joel Lafayette. $t With hawks and angels $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 $z 9781496844705 $w (DLC) 2022056864 830 0 $a Willie Morris books in memoir and biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A0F73DA0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
