Overview
‘Magical … truly original … Writing of people who limited themselves and died of it, Als has overcome limits’ The New York Times Book ReviewWhat are the forces that shape us?Hilton Als’s brilliant, now-classic meditation on gender, race and personal identity in AmericaIn The Women, Hilton Als explores—with breath taking originality—the role of sexual and racial identity in marginalized lives. With a blend of fact and fiction, Als brings to vivid life a number of extraordinary characters, including: his mother, a singular woman whose West Indian heritage and determination inspired her son to write; Malcolm Xs mother, whose mixed-race background and eventual descent into madness contributed to her sons burgeoning misogyny and fear; brilliant, Harvard-educated Dorothy Dean, who deeply empathized with white gay men; and Owen Dodson, teacher and poet, who played an important role in the authors development as a gay man, and thinker.Combining memoir, cultural history, social theory and storytelling, The Women is a profoundly innovative work which has inspired a generation of writers. Here, Als submits both racial and sexual stereotypes to scrutiny, showing ‘no mercy but every tenderness’. The results are exhilarating. The Women is that rarest of books: a memorable work of self-investigation that creates a form of all its own.
