Born into a wealthy Black Indianapolis family, Earl “Trey” Singleton III leaves his overbearing parents and their expectations behind by running away to New York City with only a few dollars in his pocket. Vibrant, humorous, and fraught with entanglements, Rasheed Newson’s My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young gay Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning.

Beautifully captures the pathos and possibilities of a pivotal period of U.S. history through the eyes of a Black gay teen in New York. He integrates historical figures like Rustin and Kramer and Fred Trump into dealing with a recent family tragedy. Brilliant!
