This was such a nice listen: FIRE IN EVERY DIRECTION with Tareq Baconi & Ta-Nehisi Coates

"we bring you the launch of Fire in Every Direction: A Memoir, Tareq Baconi’s singular coming-of-age story about queer and political awakening from within the Palestinian diaspora. Baconi was joined by Ta-Nehisi Coates in a conversation about personal and political memoir."

They also read a few pieces from the book, and it sounds beautiful, IMO.
