Book Description
It was prom night for the class of '65 in Wattinger, North Dakota. In just a few days the Road Demons, made up of Gerry, Randy, Art, and Bobby would be heading for the west coast to make big money as lumberjacks and leave a trail of broken hearts. This would be their last trip together before working towards their careers, perhaps moving to different cities. However, for Bobby, this trip is not a certainty. Things were much more simple for the others. He was the only one saving money for college and his strict father did not approve of the trip, especially with his friends whom he had felt were wasting their lives, spending too much money on their cars. Bobby was faced with the dilemma of trying to please his father, whose old fashioned ideals were in conflict with the American way of life, or going on this last trip with his friends. Would he show up with the others when it was time to leave? If he did go on the trip, what would happen if he returned with no money'...

Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land
Author: Taylor Brorby
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1324090871
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
"Brorby has written not only a truly great memoir, but also a frighteningly relevant one that speaks to the many battles we still have left to fight." —Jung Yun, New York Times Book Review From a young, gay environmentalist, a searing coming-of-age memoir set against the arid landscape of rural North Dakota, where homosexuality “seems akin to a ticking bomb.” “I am a child of the American West, a landscape so rich and wide that my culture trembles with terror before its power.” So begins Taylor Brorby’s Boys and Oil, a haunting, bracingly honest memoir about growing up gay amidst the harshness of rural North Dakota, “a place where there is no safety in a ravaged landscape of mining and fracking.” In visceral prose, Brorby recounts his upbringing in the coalfields; his adolescent infatuation with books; and how he felt intrinsically different from other boys. Now an environmentalist, Brorby uses the destruction of large swathes of the West as a metaphor for the terror he experienced as a youth. From an assault outside a bar in an oil boom town to a furtive romance, and from his awakening as an activist to his arrest at the Dakota Access Pipeline, Boys and Oil provides a startling portrait of an America that persists despite well-intentioned legal protections.
