A raw, poetic, coming-of-age ā€œmasterworkā€ (The New York Times) about Blackness, masculinity and addiction


ā€œPunch Me Up to the Gods obliterates what we thought were the limitations of not just the American memoir, but the possibilities of the American paragraph. Iā€™m not sure a book has ever had me sobbing, punching the air, dying of laughter, and needing to write as much as Brian Broomeā€™s staggering debut. This sh*t is special.ā€

ā€”Kiese Laymon, New York Times bestselling author ofĀ Heavy


ā€œPunch Me Up to the Gods is some of the finest writing I have ever encountered and one of the most electrifying, powerful, simply spectacular memoirs Iā€”or youā€”have ever read. And you will read it; you must read it. It contains everything we all crave so deeply: truth, soul, brilliance, grace. It is a masterpiece of a memoir and Brian Broome should win the Pulitzer Prize for writing it. I am in absolute awe and you will be, too.ā€

ā€”Augusten Burroughs, New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors


Punch Me Up to the Gods introduces a powerful new talent in Brian Broome, whose early years growing up in Ohio as a dark-skinnedĀ Black boy harboring crushes on other boys propel forward this gorgeous, aching, and unforgettable debut. Brianā€™s recounting of his experiencesā€”in all their cringe-worthy, hilarious, and heartbreaking gloryā€”reveal a perpetual outsider awkwardly squirming to find his way in. Indiscriminate sex and escalating drug use help to soothe his hurt, young psyche, usually to uproarious and devastating effect. A no-nonsense mother and broken father play crucial roles in our misfitā€™s origin story. But it is Brianā€™s voice in the retelling that shows the true depth of vulnerability for young Black boys that is often quietly near to bursting at the seams.

Cleverly framed around Gwendolyn Brooksā€™s poem ā€œWe Real Cool,ā€ the iconic and loving ode to Black boyhood, Punch Me Up to the Gods is at once playful, poignant, and wholly original. Broomeā€™s writing brims with swagger and sensitivity, bringing an exquisite and fresh voice to ongoing cultural conversations about Blackness in America.
