Untitled Yarwood 2 of 2

From a fearless comic known for tackling uncomfortable topics, a revealing and subversive memoir that explores Bowers’ life from his difficult childhood in Georgia up to his rise in the LA comedy world &nbsp; Byron Bowers is often referred to as a Comics’ Comic. A veteran stand-up comedian and actor, he's known for gripping material covering spirituality, race, socioeconomics, gender roles—and for delivering a fair chunk of it unrehearsed and in the moment. But though his life today may seem promising, it wasn't always that way. After all, as Byron sees it, the best stand-ups spin comedy from their own perceptions of reality. and what better source material to mine than one's own struggles? Growing up as an&nbsp;illegitimate child in conservative Georgia, Byron was accustomed to instability, passed from parent to parent before eventually being taken in by his grandmother. While experiencing heavy bullying from children his community, he bussed into a white school and instantly became a target of racism. Meanwhile, trying to handle his father's diagnosis with paranoid-schizophrenia, for which he was institutionalized, and his subsequent drug addiction.&nbsp; Being left alone in the projects by his father, Byron realizing that the only person he could rely on was himself, Byron vowed to reshape his life—and get the hell out of Georgia.&nbsp; Willing to do whatever it took to make it out led to a basketball scholarship and set forth a new adventure—while also selling crack at a Christian university out of state. After being shot at and finding himself on the verge of either homicide or suicide, Byron stepped down as his college town's Second in Command and moved to Atlanta. Knowing business classes could foster a career in white-collar crime, he returned to college, becoming the first in his family to earn a degree. Upon graduation, Byron pursued stand-up comedy slowly moving up the ranks the Atlanta comedy scene due to his edginess. He decided to move to the West Coast to pursue comedy and became a regular performer at the hallowed Sunset Strip Comedy Store.&nbsp;From there, he evolved into a stand-out on the local stand-up scene, was the surprise winner of a strategic comedy competition, and even landed himself a few television credits—finally&nbsp;poised on the cusp of achieving success on his own terms. Beyond the Promised Land&nbsp;dismisses the conventional wisdom that reality’s rules can’t be rewritten. Ultimately, Byron's is a story that educates, enlightens, and inspires anyone who refuses to let adversity stand in the way of not only their dreams, but finding peace along the way. &nbsp;

My Journey to Comedy Freedom by Dream or Delusion

Beyond the Promised Land

The Spanner in the Works

A powerful exploration of race and swimming by a writer who "see[s] the world whole, allowing daily intimacies against a backdrop of social injustice" (New York Times). Michael Kleber-Diggs and his twin brother, Martin, grew up in Kansas City, their family part of a prosperous community of Black medical professionals. Their father had never learned to swim, so when he wanted to buy a boat, their mother, a former lifeguard, agreed on the condition that her sons take swimming lessons. Then their father was murdered in an act of random violence, and everyone's lives changed--but for Michael, in the years and moves that followed, swimming remained a constant. My Weight in Water is the intimate memoir of a swimmer. It is a story of race and recreation in America--of segregation, desegregation, and justice--told through one family and their lives in the Midwest. It is a reckoning with the concept of self-care and a plea for joy. Most of all, it is a book about what it means to love an activity that leaves you vulnerable--your mostly unclothed body in close proximity to other mostly unclothed bodies, moving through the same water--when you are marked as an outsider by both your race and your size. Transparently and gloriously written, My Weight in Water is a definitively American work about what it costs one swimmer to enter the pool and why he does it anyway--imagining a future where all people have access to an activity that renders us weightless.
