A provocative, intellectual memoir' (USA Today)from a remarkable new literary voice.Growing up, Thomas Chatterton Williams knew he loved three things in life: his parents, literature, and the intoxicating hiphop culture that surrounded him. For years, he managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles, 'keeping it real' in his friends' eyes and studying for the SATs under his father's strict tutelageuntil it all threatened to spin out of control. Written with remarkable candor and emotional depth, Losing My Cool portrays the allure and danger of hiphop culture with the authority of a true fan who's lived through it all, while demonstrating the saving grace of literature and the power of the bond between father and son.
