Geography of the Heart by Fenton Johnson
5.0
The single most powerful look at love, pain, loss, grief, and human connection that I have ever read.
Fenton Johnson slowly unravels his own journey from that of a man full of fear and resistance to love towards a man completely open to the most intimate, tender love as his lover faced (and succumbed) to death.
Gently revealing his family history and the history of his lover as we journey with Johnson towards an inevitable and shattering end, this love story is the most exquisite and touching account of love I've ever encountered.
Brutally honest about his own short-comings and failures, the vulnerability that Johnson spills across the pages of his story is simply breathtaking.
A must read for anyone and everyone seeking to expand their own understanding of love and grief.
