How We Fight for Our Lives: A Memoir (A Bestselling Memoir)

How We Fight for Our Lives by Saeed Jones is a moving, bracingly honest memoir that explores the intersection of sex, race, and power through the lens of one young black gay man's coming-of-age journey.

Through vignettes that chart a course across the American landscape, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescence, revealing the tumultuous relationships he had with his family, lovers, friends, and strangers.

This powerful memoir is not just a personal story of self-discovery but also an examination of race and queerness, power and vulnerability, love and grief.

With a style that's as beautiful as it is powerful, Jones has developed a voice that's by turns a river, a blues, and a nightscape set ablaze.

How We Fight for Our Lives is an essential memoir that cements Saeed Jones as a vital writer for our time.
