Explanation:
- Hooks' 15th book continues the memoir she began in Bone Black (1996). The tiny southern black girl who dreamed of being a writer since she was ten years old is now a young lady entering Stanford University for the first time, away from home, the South, and Jim Crow regulations. At 19, she takes a partner, Mack, an older black scholar and poet, and begins work on Ain't I a Woman?, her first published work 11 years later. The connection with Mack is central to this book, which otherwise covers all of hooks' regular topics: racism, gender, sexuality and desire, money and its uses and abuses, aesthetics, and poetry.
- Her relationship with Mack is volatile, with an undertone of violence that recalls the relationship between her mother and father described in the preceding novel. Hooks abandons traditional chronological format to convey the tale of her adolescence and coming of age as a writer. Instead, she jumps back and forth in time in chapters that are frequently arranged thematically, ranging from third-person observations on her adolescent self to first-person recollections that teeter uncomfortably between past and present tenses. The end product is an unwieldy and repeated jumble of tones that works best when it's most traditional.
- At its finest, the book provides flashes of insight that serve as a sharp reminder of how observant and plain brilliant the author is as a social critic and thinker (for example, a throwaway remark about the destructive effects of "silent drinking" in a family). However, far too much of this collection is either self-congratulatory gushing (no author should write about how "daring and challenging" the work at hand is) or badly misguided attempts at poetic impact. Only a writer as excellent and as determinedly distinctive as hooks could have written such a foolish book.
