‘McBee’s beautifully written story is engrossing
and brave, and rings with triumph’
BuzzFeed
‘A brilliant work of art. I bow down to McBee – his
humility, his sense of humour, his insightfulness,
his structural deftness, his ability to put into
words what is often said but rarely, with such
visceral clarity and beauty, communicated’
Heidi Julavits
author of The Vanishers
‘A story about patience, forgiveness, kindness
and bravery . . . With this book, Thomas Page
McBee has done exactly what we should all
strive for: to tell our stories in ways that
humanise rather than sensationalise’
Lauren Morelli
writer, Orange Is the New Black
‘Well aware that memory and identity rarely
follow a linear path, Thomas Page McBee
attempts to answer the question,
“What does it really mean to be a man?”
Weaving past and present to do so, the book’s
journey connects violence, masculinity and
forgiveness. McBee has an intelligent heart, and it
beats in every sentence of this gorgeous book’
Saeed Jones
author of Prelude to Bruise
‘Exquisitely written and bristling with emotion,
this important book reminds us of how much
vulnerability and violence inheres to any identity.
A real achievement of form and narrative’
Jack Halberstam
author of The Queer Art of Failure
A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness and Becoming a Man

This is a work of non-fiction, but it relies on memory and, as such, its attendant illusions, spectres and plays of light. It is the truth as I’ve lived it. Many names have been changed.
For you, whoever you are.
