5.0
Following Brian Broome (with a special chapter from his mother’s POV), we see how he was raised to enact toxic masculinity and compulsory heteronormativity. Every other chapter is dedicated to the initiation of a young boy, Tuan, to the world of being a stereotypical man. The cycle continues.
This book is very good. Many lines stood out as strong and impactful and I wish that I had read it to highlight these beautiful words. Broome is a poet and it shows.
Nothing in this book lagged. Nothing was out of place.
