Ron Dawson

Dungeons 'n' Durags

One Black Nerd's Comical Quest of Racial Identity and Crisis of Faith (Social Commentary, Gift for Nerds, Uncomfortable Conversations)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Dungeons ’n’ Durags, author, filmmaker, and self-admitted Blerd Ron Dawson tells his own “coming-of-age” story. Following the election of former president Trump, Dawson reckons with all intersecting aspects of his Black identity. Guided by an “angel” in the guise of Samuel L. Jackson’s character from Pulp Fiction, Dawson deconstructs parts of his life—faith, relationships, autonomy—with wit and comical social commentary.
