Ali VelshiAuthor Jonathan Evison admits #LawnBoy grapples w/ a lot: “wealth and equity, racial assumptions, perils of late capitalism - but front and center is the inherent inequities of the American dream” – making it an even more crucial read #VelshiBannedBookClub https://www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/-velshibannedbookclub-lawn-boy-by-jonathan-evison-187249733947
#VelshiBannedBookClub: ‘Lawn Boy’ by Jonathan Evison
A semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story, “Lawn Boy” grapples with sexual orientation, family dynamics, opportunities for immigrants, classism, and Capitalism. At its core, “Lawn Boy” is a story of identity. As both a Mexican American and a gay man, Mike grapples with who he is and whom he loves. “It was very important for me to write this book, even myself, I take a lot of privileges for granted – there is this American mythos that the American dream is open for all of us and it’s a lot harder for people of color and a non-binary persuasion,” says Evison. And yet, despite the important subject matter, one parent’s condemnation of the book sparked a mass-banning across the U-S. Some 35 school districts in 20 states temporarily removed “Lawn Boy” from library shelves.

BetsyGleickIf you're just a teeny bit filled with rage today about how the world is going, maybe show the wannabe book banners you defy them: #LawnBoy--outrageously on many of the "most banned" lists (which are inherently outrageous) in the U.S.--is a #kindle deal.

BongolianHannah Natanson: A mom wrongly said the book showed pedophilia. School libraries banned it. How misinformation about “Lawn Boy,” a book that was never intended for children, made it the second-most contested book last year.

Renata 💻 🎒🦩🐬🌊🥵Currently reading. Pretty good book. Definitely recommend. I’m used to reading really hard books, like depressing, rip you heart out and stomp on it til you die, kinda hard. So this is a nice break. #lawnboy #bannedbooks #challengedbooks #jonathanevison #bookstodon #reader
