With Hawks and Angels: Episodes from a Southern Life chronicles the
fortunate life of a man born in the Cajun country of Louisiana and
his interaction with the three distinct parts of his home state:
the swampy, laissez-faire South where he was born, the red clay
hills and piney woods of northern Louisiana where his relatives
lived, and exotic New Orleans, where he was educated. Author Joel
Lafayette Fletcher III examines his childhood on the campus of what
is now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where his father,
Joel Lafayette Fletcher Jr., was president for twenty-five years,
to his time as a student at Tulane. The book follows Fletcher
through his service as a naval officer—when he began to admit to
himself, accept, and explore who he really was—to his life in
Europe and, eventually, Virginia where he now resides. With Hawks
and Angels intimately explores the life of a young man growing up
in the racially segregated Deep South while coming to terms with
being gay at a time when being out was not socially acceptable.
Based on his personal journals and recollections and filled with
the unique characters he met along the way, With Hawks and Angels
is the culmination of writing that, for Fletcher, was a way of
holding onto an important part of his true self that for many years
he felt compelled to hide.
