Description
Losing My Cool: Love, Literature, and a Black Man's Escape from the Crowd"A provocative, intellectual memoir" (USA Today) from a remarkable new literary voice. Growing up, Thomas Chatterton Williams knew he loved three things in life: his parents, literature, and the intoxicating hip hop culture that surrounded him. For years, he managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles, "keeping it real" in his friends' eyes and studying for the SATs under his father's strict tutelage until it all threatened to spin out of control.
"A provocative, intellectual memoir" (USA Today)-from a remarkable new literary voice. Growing up, Thomas Chatterton Williams knew he loved three things in life: his parents, literature, and the intoxicating hip-hop culture that surrounded him. For years, he managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles, "keeping it real" in his friends' eyes and studying for the SATs under his father's strict tutelage-until it all threatened to spin out of control. Written with remarkable candor and emotional depth, Losing My Cool portrays the allure and danger of hip-hop culture with the authority of a true fan who's lived through it all, while demonstrating the saving grace of literature and the power of the bond between father and son.Binding Type: Paperback

Good gift, and conversation starter with teenager
Format: Paperback
My 14 yr old really liked the gift, and he's not a reader. I do make it interactive, ask him questions and have conversations. I recommend.

Great Gift for Kids — Sparks Meaningful Conversations

Bought this as a gift for my son and it’s been a great addition. It naturally opens up conversations between us without feeling forced, which I really appreciate. It’s engaging, thoughtful, and something we actually look forward to using together. Definitely a meaningful gift if you’re trying to connect more with your kids.
