Ray Shabir

Public Feelings & Other Acts

Format Buku
Deskripsi
In his debut, Ray Shabir shines a spotlight on the Realm of his adolescence, before facing the inevitable truth of growing up. In Public Feelings & Other Acts, a collection of theatrical range of works, Ray raises his glass in his own tribute of youth. Public Feelings & Other Acts matures into a kaleidoscopic memoir. It opens up to the reader through a series of essays, poems, prose, and other forms of writing. Completed with striking visuals that aid his storytelling, the author takes on his own personal accounts of growing up, from creativity to partying to loneliness to heartache. The book is a documentation of the author’s personal period of time, in order to reflect and acknowledge his own coming-of-age before moving forward. Written in a voice that is unapologetically personal yet critically distant at the same time, he makes his odyssey toward adulthood — unquestionably his own. “Ray Shabir stands anxiously naked in the center stage to declare his deepest feelings publicly. Filled with agony, contradictions and self-doubt, he tries to heal through the many faces of New York he has encountered.” –Lucky Kuswandi, Film Director "Reading Public Feelings is learning about Ray, but more extraordinarily, about yourself. His gift of storytelling invites readers to embrace the authenticity of their own feelings and connect with the universal truth of growing up. Even after its initial release, the book gets better the longer it lingers in your mind. With each reimagining, Public Feelings unveils new layers of understanding, making it a literary gem that ages like fine wine. " –Fathia Izzati, Musician
