Author Lamar Ariel has just released an innovative and exciting collection of letters in his first book, entitled Ready to Male. The work infuses elements of short story and memoir writing styles to provide a snapshot of the author's ongoing journey to creatively examine rather than dismiss his personal thoughts.
Using humor, wordplay, poetry, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, each chapter of Ready to Male contains exaggerated interpretations of real life experiences. The work provides an intimate vessel for eavesdropping on one man's attempt to make sense of his emotions and the rapidly changing world around him.
As exemplified through letters such as "Dear No Strings Attached"--And in the middle of it all, there was the time I spent not realizing that--without those four required strings--we couldn't produce any notes in harmony --each letter tells a honest and relatable story about the author's relationship with characters that have existed in his life. Ariel hopes that Ready to Male will become a new mechanism for same-gender loving men of color to discuss their similarities and shared struggles.
