Part I will focus on rage as the source and seemingly inevitable outcome of Lesters sexual exploits and search for companionship within the gay male community. Part II will focus on white rage and its personal effects on Lester as well as the harm it does to society for queer people of color. Part III will focus on rage as an existential crisis of not only Lesters life but the American way of life; how it, like race, colors every aspect of day to day existence.</p><p>Lesters witty, conversational voice, coupled with his searing social commentary on topics such as dating, rejection, racism, sexuality, identity, and more, will make for an enagaging and original read.</p>...(*_*)9780593185094_<p><strong>A debut book from <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> writer and former <em>Out</em> magazine editor Lester Fabian Brathwaite, <em>Rage</em> is a darkly comedic exploration of Blackness, queerness, and the American Dream, at a time when creative anger feels like the best response to inequality.</strong></p><p>One romantic hopeful had greeted Lester Fabian Brathwaite on a dating app with this gem: You into race play?
