A young Jamaican man struggles to overcome toxic masculinity—his culture’s and his own—in this Caribbean coming-of-age novelIn high school in Montego Bay, Jamaica,teenager Nyjah Messado witnessed the rape of Maude Dallmeyer, a teacher trainee. Some of the boys who committed the assault are his friends and he’s soon torn between the masculine code at the all boys’ school and his own conscience. This guilt haunts him during his years away at college. It continues to weigh heavily upon him when he returns home, and Nyjah finds it increasingly difficult for him to spend time with his best friend, Chadwell, who participated in the rape. A unique chance to reunite with Maude gives Nyjah the opportunity to admit his complicity as a do-nothing witness, and ask for forgiveness. But will he take it? And will she accept it—or will his own journey for inner peace only renew her trauma?My Own Dear Peopleis a multilayered story exploring both the effects of toxic masculinity and the bonds of friendship. We see Nyjah trying to come to terms with his own place in multiple in his family; at school, with its colonial Eurocentric ethos; and within the religion and politics of Montego Bay and the city’s criminal gangs. Through his time away at college, he is beginning to develop his own sense of accountability and an understanding of the life he is living.Stylistically engaging and ambitious in scope, the novel takes us through a sweeping movement between the younger and more mature selves of from the homophobia prevalent in Jamaican boys’ schools and the institutionalized form it takes, to the paranoia and denial surrounding adolescent sexuality, to the corruption of a society that runs so nakedly on power relations and social class. Similar to Hanya Yanagihara’sA Little Lifeand Kate Walbert’sHis Favorites, My Own Dear Peoplelooks unflinchingly at proclivities toward cruelty, particularly toward women and LGBTQ+ people. Dwight Thompson elevates the tradition of the coming-of-age novel by boldly examine how sexual predation crosses both gay and straight worlds.
