I Can't Date Jesus

A strong work of political and artistic activism, writer Michael Arceneaux's I Can't Date Jesus is a timely, humorous, multifaceted examination of the American experience from the perspective of a young black gay man. The New York Times Book Review called his writing "timely, honest, and courageous," and Vanity Fair described him as "a fresh new voice in Twitter activism. " As one of our most vital cultural writers, Arceneaux uses his hyper-inclusive outlook to dismantle stereotypes and misconceptions about black life in conservative America. His experience as a child growing up in a religious family makes him uniquely qualified to express the thoughts and feelings many POC have bottled up for centuries.
