An absolute page-turner, Nothing is Us is the true story of a boy’s escape from his father’s abusive grasp. Told in a novelistic style complete with climax and denouement and the imagery and tension of fiction, it deals with racism in the U.S. South, Kennedy’s assassination, the Cuban missile crisis, student response to the war in Vietnam, military culture, and the destructive cult of blind American patriotism.
