Author:
Glenn C. Loury
Publisher:
W. W. Norton & Company
Date:
May 14, 2024
A frank memoir from a prize-winning economist, reflecting on his personal odyssey and his changing positions on identity, race, and belief.
What The Reviewers Say
Disarmingly candid.
Unlike any economist’s memoir I have ever read.
his memoir is so frank that readers may get dizzy from the candor of his revelations, particularly of his (now discontinued) sex and drug binges. But alongside such details is a bracing account of how Mr. Loury came to confront the racial and ideological expectations of a society where a black conservative is anathema to black elites and white liberals alike.
A rueful account of a Jekyll and Hyde life overcome by a hard-fought struggle for redemption..
