Hey I’m in San Jose and I got my hands on my homie @landspeedrecord‘s new book, HEAV
Hey I’m in San Jose and I got my hands on my homie @landspeedrecord‘s new book, HEAVEN IS A PLACE. “In this book he presents stories and musings from the perspective of an over observant and frightfully self aware young brown boy. As he shuffled down the streets where he lives, he leads you through his life reflecting longingly and painfully about family, friends and self. School politics in a hood he calls home and family that strains him like taffy.” This book comes with high recommendation from my students, who said, “he snapped. When I saw the title, I knew it was gon treat. I feel like I know him.” I am honored to know and build with this human whose stories are an act of healing and vulnerability through storytelling. Is identity constantly on your mind? Both your own and others? Do you believe in learning to connect thru storytelling? Do you work with young people? If Junot Diaz’s stories shake you, prepare to be shook into a dizzying dream when reading Rich Gutierrez’s stories.
