Freed

By Benjamin Colon Nieves

In Freed, Ben Colon pushes the limits of societal acceptance as suppressed characters rage against conformity, cruelty, and misrepresentation. Colon questions what reality is and what makes reality good, and he narrates the exhibitions of a rebellious young man in school and in early professions trying to break free. The soul of his writing is in his characters' ability to form reliable relationships among peers, to stand together united against the enemy--those in authority. Colon takes readers by surprise in "Never Cut Her Hair," telling the story of a suicide attempt and unexpected events. "The Face of a Monster" shows blood as battle scars earned in the war against suppression and the undue punishment of young men in school and family. In each writing, Colon's willingness to capture the raw struggle between blind discipline and escape is captivating.
