My Government Means to Kill Me
NATIONAL BESTSELLER · A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK · A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITOR'S CHOICE · 2023 LAMBDA LITERARY PRIZE FOR GAY FICTION FINALIST The debut novel from television WRITER/PRODUCER OF THE CHI, NARCOS, and BEL-AIR tells a fierce and riveting queer coming-of-age story following the personal and political awakening of a young, gay, Black man in 1980s New York City. "Consistently engrossing." —New York Times Book Review “Full of joy and righteous anger, sex and straight talk, brilliant storytelling and humor... A spectacularly researched Dickensian tale with vibrant characters and dozens of famous cameos, it is precisely the book we’ve needed for a long time.” —Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less Earl "Trey" Singleton III arrives in New York City with only a few dollars in his pocket. Born into a wealthy Black Indianapolis family, at 17, he is ready to leave his overbearing parents and their expectations behind. In the city, Trey meets up with a cast of characters that changes his life forever. He volunteers at a renegade home hospice for AIDS patients, and after being put to the test by gay rights activists, becomes a member of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Along the way Trey attempts to navigate past traumas and searches for ways to maintain familial relationships—all while seeking the meaning of life amid so much death. Vibrant, humorous, and fraught with entanglements, Rasheed Newson’s My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young gay Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning.

The God Particle as it is called, or technically, the Higg's boson, is discovered in CERNS Large Hadron Collider, in 2012. The next breakthrough comes in 2042, when Quantum Physicists learn how to disintegrate a human being and accelerate his atoms to the speed of light and thereby interact with one or more God Particles in the follow-up machine, the Large Mass Collider. 'Realia' is the name the author has given to this region of sub-atomia where everything important in the universe is controlled. In our story, the Chinese and American governments, each scramble to send an atomonaut into quantum space to learn if the God Particle can provide them with enough power to control the world. The God Bomb is pursued by both sides from opposite ends of the planet. At the same time, Kundun Gyaltso, a ten-year-old Tibetan monk, pursues the truth about God's particles through an amazing new 3-D mandala software he has created and that is eventually downloaded by nearly every computer device on the planet. The experience rocks the world of any audience he entertains until he finally performs the most important 3-D mandala concert in history. Who will win the race to control the universe? The powers in government that now rule our world? Or will it be the power of peace and love and human kindness. The ending, the most mind-blowing in history, will surprise and amaze you. Everybody wins, however, the way that everyone wins is through one of the most profound questions ever asked. Does anyone get a Do-Over? Whether you want a do-over or not, the answer is in your particular place in 'Realia'.
What Kind of America
This is an excellent book for people who are tired and fed up with what they see happening to their country. Whether its failing schools, a failing federal government, a failing economy, huge debt, and massive unemployment, youll want to read this book. Hollywood is a cesspool, likened to Soddom and Gomorrah, RAP music offends almost everyone, and is full of degrading lyrics; the whole alternative energy push by this President is a scam; man-made global warming is another big scam, and Al Gore is making tens of millions of dollars from it. Whats all this stuff about diversity being good for America? Show me. You want alternative energy to replace oil? Itll be here in about 25 years; get over it. Our federal government is broken, out of control, and arrogant, and unable to effectively govern. We should toss them all out and start over, using the Constitution as the standard for office. Its all in here, and it is most assuredly politically incorrect. The author does not subscribe to Cultural Marxism from which politically correct evolved. If you are easily offended, dont read this book because if youre offended, its your problem, not his. This is volume 1 in what the author believes will be a 3-volume set, and he goes after all of the bad people, bad groups, and bad ideas.
