{"product_id":"9781324090861","title":"Boys and Oil : Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I am a child of the American West, a landscape so rich and wide that my culture trembles with terror before its power.\" So begins Taylor Brorby's Boys and Oil, a haunting, bracingly honest memoir about growing up gay amidst the harshness of rural North Dakota, \"a place where there is no safety in a ravaged landscape of mining and fracking.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn visceral prose, Brorby recounts his upbringing in the coalfields; his adolescent infatuation with books; and how he felt intrinsically different from other boys. Now an environmentalist, Brorby uses the destruction of large swathes of the West as a metaphor for the terror he experienced as a youth. From an assault outside a bar in an oil boom town to a furtive romance, and from his awakening as an activist to his arrest at the Dakota Access Pipeline, Boys and Oil provides a startling portrait of an America that persists despite well-intentioned legal protections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956463153387,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":51.18,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781324090861-1.jpg?v=1783095897","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781324090861","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
