520    "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."--|cProvided by publisher.
