“Legendary commentary on culture and humanity. Exquisite literary taste. Even better human.”
ezra, Ezra Indited
“Been reading Mr. Jones/Son of Baldwin for a few years now, and he always comes through, with insight and scalpel-sharp analysis of Blackness and being Black in this Matrix of anti-Blackness and anti-queerness. He bears witness in the truest sense of the word, not as a spectator or a voyeur, but as a writer drawing from the past to warn us about the present and the future.”
Donald Earl Collins, Fool's Gold: Confessions From An Educated Fool
“Some of the most pointed and beautiful analysis of humans and our current behavior ”
