He begins to reclaim his life by embracing physical health, becoming more powerful in his own esteem and ability.Īs Laymon writes, he paints a picture of how he feels betrayed by his mother. ![]() In response to the recognition of his childhood abuse - not just by his mother but by many in his community - Laymon rebels by centralizing his ethnic heritage in his identity. Additionally, she could not prepare her son for the cold snobbery and outright hatred which he experienced in college from his white peers. Although she hoped a good education would spare her son the violent reality of life as a black man in the American south, she interposed her will onto Laymon through the self-same violence of which she desired to spare him. His relationship to her is the unifying thread in this otherwise lengthy and disparate account. Kiese Laymon addresses Heavy: An American Memoir to his mother.

His ideas were appropriated by the Fascists, who turned his theories into social realities that he had never intended. By Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Kaufmann (Introduction by). Known for saying that “god is dead,” Nietzsche propounded his metaphysical construct of the superiority of the disciplined individual (superman) living in the present over traditional values derived from Christianity and its emphasis on heavenly rewards. Nietzsches works are arranged in the book in chronological order. He notes these liberties in the notes, and the information presented flows well. He never recovered from a nervous breakdown in 1889 and died eleven years later. The translation is easy to read, and Kaufmann takes necessary liberties with the translation to make the book more understandable and reader-friendly to the English reader. In 1869 he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, where he taught until 1879 when poor health forced him to retire. After the death of his father, a Lutheran minister, Nietzsche was raised from the age of five by his mother in a household of women. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Prussia in 1844. ![]() |
