Description: Longlisted FOR THE 2024 Kirkus NON - Fiction Prize A transformative memoir that reimagines the conventions of love and posits a radical vision for healing. In Another Word for Love Carvell Wallace excavates layers of his own history situated in the struggles and beauty of growing up Black and queer in America. Wallace is an award - winning journalist who has built his career on writing unforgettable profiles bringing a provocative and engaged sensitivity to his subjects. Now he turns the focus on himself examining his own life and the circumstances that frame it - to make sense of seeking refuge from homelessness with a young single mother living in a ghostly white Pennsylvania town becoming a partner and parent raising two teenagers in what feels like a collapsing world. With courage vulnerability and a remarkable expansiveness of spirit - not to mention a thrilling and unrivaled storytelling verve - Another Word for Love makes an irresistible case for life healing the fullness of our humanity and of course love. It could be called a theory of life itself - a theory of being that will leave you open to the wonder of the world.
