LET IT BANG A Young Black Mans Reluctant Odyssey into Guns

RJ Young brings the listener into American gun culture through this humorous memoir of his life as the son-in-law of a gun enthusiast. He narrates his story with ease and a matter-of-factness that seems to say, "This is what it's like being on the inside. Nothing less, but most likely more." Although he shares stories of being a black man walking into areas that aren't quite welcoming, his comfort with retelling his experiences and researching the culture of guns in the United States is natural and creates curiosity in unfamiliar listeners. Covering an array of topics--including types of guns, how to use a gun, and reasons for having a gun--he offers a riveting perspective of a phenomenon that powerfully shapes U.S. culture.
