About the book
Adam Falkner's first full-length collection offers a sharp and In a voice that Dr. Cornel West heralds as 'prophetic in bleak times,' Falkner departs from a more familiar coming out narrative to centre the stories of several dueling selves. Masquerading white boy. Child of an addict. Closeted varsity athlete. Grief-struck friend. Through snapshots of 'Willies' both tragic and humorous, merciless and humane, Falkner offers powerful new ways of understanding the intersectional linkage that binds queer shame to cultural appropriation.
