As Jacob lies dying, he begins to write a letter to his only son, Isaac. They have not met or spoken in many years, and there are things that Isaac must know. Stories about his ancestral legacy in rural Arkansas that extend back to slavery. Secrets from Jacob's tumultuous relationship with Isaac's mother and the shame he carries from the dissolution of their family. Tragedies that informed Jacob's role as a father and his reaction to Isaac's being gay. But most of all, Jacob must share with Isaac the unspoken truths that reside in his heart. He must give voice to the trauma that Isaac has inherited. And he must create a space for the two to find peace. With piercing insight and profound empathy, acclaimed author Daniel Black illuminates the lived experiences of Black fathers and queer sons, offering an authentic and ultimately hopeful portrait of reckoning and reconciliation. Spare as it is sweeping, poetic as it is compulsively readable, Don't Cry for Me is a monumental novel about one family grappling with love's hard edges and the unexpected places where hope and healing take flight." -- 541 $d 20240308. 650 $a African American families $v Fiction. 650 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 $a Parents of gays $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Intergenerational relations $v Fiction. 650 $a African American gay men $v Fiction. 650 $a Terminally ill $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Epistolary fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240316010708.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=876CFACEE35A11EEADAC431435ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
