Shane McCrae

Description

VULTURE'S BEST MEMOIR OF THE YEARA NEW STATESMAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEARShane McCrae was born to a white mother and a Black father. At eighteen months old, he was kidnapped from his parents's house. His maternal grandparents transported him to suburban Texas, wishing to hide his Blackness from him. In the years that followed, they manipulated and controlled him, believing they were doing what was best for Shane. While in their house, Blackness would always be the worst thing about him. Pulling the Chariot of the Sun is a revelatory account of what it means to be Black in America, written with virtuosity and heart by one of the finest poets writing today. It illuminates how we all might be made whole again, through a tireless search for the truth and the joyful pursuit of what we love.
