A New York Times Notable Book A revised collection with thirteen essays, including six new to this edition and seven from the original edition, by the â€œstar in the American literary firmament, with a voice that is courageous, honest, loving, and singularly beautifulâ€ (NPR). Brilliant and uncompromising, piercing and funny, How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America is essential reading. This new edition of award-winning author Kiese Laymonâ€™s first work of nonfiction looks inward, drawing heavily on the author and his familyâ€™s experiences, while simultaneously examining the worldâ€”Mississippi, the South, the United Statesâ€”that has shaped their lives. With subjects that range from an interview with his mother to reflections on Ole Miss football, Outkast, and the labor of Black women, these thirteen insightful essays highlight Laymonâ€™s profound love of language and his artful rendering of experience, trumpeting why he is â€œsimply one of the most talented writers in Americaâ€ (New York magazine).
