Razed by TV Sets

By Jason McCall

Jason McCall wanted to be a Hector, a hero who dies fighting for a worthy cause. Instead, he's a Narcissus. He can't stop seeing his own reflection. And, for him, that might be just as dangerous as being a black man in the United States. In Razed by TV Sets, McCall uses a variety of essay topics--ranging from Tupac Shakur to CM Punk to psych wards--to show how depictions of race and masculinity have affected how he sees himself and how the world sees him. Razed by TV Sets is an essay collection filled with sports heroes, musicians, and cultural icons. But, above all, it is a collection filled by mirrors and all the threats and discoveries that mirrors may hold.
