1. My Government Means To Kill Me
Set in the vibrant yet tumultuous backdrop of 1980s New York City, this coming-of-age novel follows the journey of a young, Black, gay man as he navigates the complexities of identity, activism, and survival. Fleeing a privileged but oppressive upbringing, he immerses himself in the city's thriving LGBTQ+ community, becoming deeply involved in the fight against the AIDS crisis. Through encounters with iconic figures and grassroots movements, he learns the power of resilience, love, and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs in the face of systemic neglect and societal indifference.
