*A Book of the Month Club Pick* NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK IN
ESSENCE MAGAZINE, THE MILLIONS AND BOOKISH "Don't Cry for Me is a
perfect song."--Jesmyn Ward A Black father makes amends with his
gay son through letters written on his deathbed in this wise and
penetrating novel of empathy and forgiveness, for fans of Ta-Nehisi
Coates, Robert Jones Jr. and Alice Walker 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.
