Hi.
So as you may or may not be aware, I am publishing a new book next year through Gallery and Simon & Schuster called AUTOPSY (of an ex-teen heartthrob)
My last book, Mixed Feelings, was me processing my relationship with my race and race in general and figuring out where I fit into the larger context of the identity obsessed world we live it.
This book is different.
This book is largely musing on the concept of fame, the absurdity of worship, and the banal and boring thoughts that wander through my mind. It’s about sex and sadness and loneliness and lust and rage and death and old age and legacy and a million other formless notions scraped out from inside of me.
The book is self dissection and perhaps self immolation.
I am cutting up a version of myself you may be aware of, the idea of “heartthrob” has always been nauseating to me, but also in a way intoxicating. I am not above vanity or any of the other sins of our age. But my vanity has always been focused on my worth as an artist, so the idea of “heartthrob” has always been useless to satisfying my vanity.
Also this book is really honest. I want to communicate myself to you all properly. I want to be seen. So I have cut myself open, and written it all down., for you to read.
It is available for pre order and will be released on February 11th 2025 (I got the date right this time)
