Kiese Laymon’s memoir was named the Best Audiobook of the year by Audible, Inc. The Audible write up says “I was stunned not only by his immense talent as a writer, but also by the unprecedented intimacy of what he was choosing to share. This is a voice we’ve rarely heard speak so vulnerably and frankly about the truth of what it is to be human. And it’s a voice that, perhaps more than any other this year, needs to be heard.”
