The funniest book I've read all year! Arceneaux has a gift of weaving his hilarious language with poignant commentary on racism, sexuality, religion, and growing up poor in the American south. Standout sections for me were Arceneaux's recollection of his dating experiences, passages where he describes his relationships with his parents, and mixture of discussing serious topics such as his religious experiences and interracial dating with his passion for Beyonce (FYI: he will not stand for Beytheism). I'm excited to read Arceneaux's I Don't Want to Die Poor!
