註釋Writer PENG tells it like it is and leaves nothing on the pages in this collection of essays that serves both as a memento to one's love or an affliction to remind one's past.Within this compilation, there are ten essays which PENG devises with words serving as his weapon of choice to openly delve into discussions of racial discrimination, the dangers of drinking and driving, the stigma of gay marriage, or the turmoil of one man's choice to stay in the closet. Standouts from some of the essays include "Proud Survival," which is inspired by an albino seal, "Bleeding Red," which begins with an Oprah Winfrey special, and "Greener Pastures," which he invites the readers to prick and bleed and observe what flows out of the veins. But perhaps his most powerful piece comes in "Life Without Jesus." In it, he recounts the religious reincarnation of a young man who has fallen deep into the abyss of pain and heartless void. Regardless your sexual orientation, the wealth of knowledge, lessons, and life experiences a reader will gain from this thought-provoking nonfiction will make you a "better" person in every sense of the word.
