Description

Losing My Cool: Love, Literature, and a Black Man's Escape from the Crowd"A provocative, intellectual memoir" (USA Today) from a remarkable new literary voice. Growing up, Thomas Chatterton Williams knew he loved three things in life: his parents, literature, and the intoxicating hip hop culture that surrounded him. For years, he managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles, "keeping it real" in his friends' eyes and studying for the SATs under his father's strict tutelage until it all threatened to spin out of control.

"A provocative, intellectual memoir" (USA Today)-from a remarkable new literary voice.

Growing up, Thomas Chatterton Williams knew he loved three things in life: his parents, literature, and the intoxicating hip-hop culture that surrounded him. For years, he managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles, "keeping it real" in his friends' eyes and studying for the SATs under his father's strict tutelage-until it all threatened to spin out of control. Written with remarkable candor and emotional depth, Losing My Cool portrays the allure and danger of hip-hop culture with the authority of a true fan who's lived through it all, while demonstrating the saving grace of literature and the power of the bond between father and son.

Love it!
Color: White, Size: 2 Rolls
A very nice bracelet holder. It's much better than I anticipated. It holds everything perfectly. There is enough room on the bottom to store a lot of different things. The bracelet hold there feels sturdy, and I love the color. I like how I can look at the bracelet through the window.

Impressed. This is a nice case. You can slip the bracelets on without any fuss. While I haven’t finished filling this one, I’m already considering a second case for watches and ankle bracelets. It’s convenient to see your items rather than digging for them. Nothing gets tangled either. There’s room for storing additional items below the two display rods.

Perfect little jewelry box
Color: Beige, Size: 2-Layer
My daughter loves this jewelry case. Her necklaces store nicely as it has a little pocket to secure the length of different pieces. She likes the modern color and style of the little hardware. Great quality for the price!
