A New York Times Notable Book Lambda Literary Award Winner Long-listed for the PEN Open Book Award

"Charles Blow is the James Baldwin of our age." -- Washington Blade

" An] exquisite memoir . . . Delicately wrought and arresting." -- New York Times

Universally praised on its publication, Fire Shut Up in My Bones is a pioneering journalist's indelible coming-of-age tale.

Charles M. Blow's mother was a fiercely driven woman with five sons, brass knuckles in her glove box, and a job plucking poultry at a factory near their segregated Louisiana town, where slavery's legacy felt close. When her philandering husband finally pushed her over the edge, she fired a pistol at his fleeing back, missing every shot, thanks to "love that blurred her vision and bent the barrel." Charles was the baby of the family, fiercely attached to his "do-right" mother. Until one day that divided his life into Before and After--the day an older cousin took advantage of the young boy. The story of how Charles escaped that world to become one of America's most innovative and respected public figures is a stirring, redemptive journey that works its way into the deepest chambers of the heart.

"Stunning . . . Blow's words grab hold of you . . . and] lead you to a place of healing." -- Essence

"The memoir of the year." -- A. V. Club

"Patriotic Perfection in Leather - A 5-Star Salute to Tommy Hilfiger!"
Size: One Size, Color: Red/White/Blue
In a world where wallets come and go, the Tommy Hilfiger Leather Wallet in its resplendent red, white, and blue has emerged as a timeless tribute to style and patriotism. It's not just a wallet; it's a declaration of fashion independence, and I'm here to wave its flag high and proud! From the moment this beauty arrived, it was clear it was something special. The leather - oh, the leather! - is as supple as the land of the free itself, with a craftsmanship that whispers tales of artisanal mastery. Its vibrant hues aren't just colors; they're a salute to style, a nod to the brand's heritage, and a high-five to good old-fashioned Americana. Functionality hasn't taken a backseat to fashion, either. This wallet is like the Swiss Army knife of financial carriers - slots aplenty, with each card and bill cradled in the luxury they didn't know they needed. It's as if Tommy himself sat down and thought, "Let's make something that not only holds your money but elevates it." And let's talk durability. This wallet has been through the wringer - back pockets, crowded bags, a toddler's curious hands - and emerged each time looking as dapper as a Fourth of July parade. It's the Bruce Springsteen of wallets: rugged, enduring, and unapologetically American. In awarding this gem a well-deserved 5 stars, I'm not just rating a product; I'm endorsing a piece of art that blends functionality with a fierce sense of style. The Tommy Hilfiger Leather Wallet in red, white, and blue is more than an accessory; it's a companion for life, a slice of the American dream tucked neatly into your pocket.

Nice Wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Oxford Black
Nice looking wallet. I thought with the tri-fold it would be bulky in partners back pocket. Nope all good. Lots of places to insert credit cards, licence. Recommend for those who like a slim wallet

Thick but light wallet with many card holders
Size: One Size, Color: Oxford Black
Similar to my other trifold Tommy Hilfilger wallet that it is replacing that lasted almost 10 years. The leather itself doesn't feel particularly thick and the stitches are just average. There was some glue in the edges of some of the card pockets that needed to be broken up, but the pockets fit cards well otherwise. It is quite thick due to the capability to hold 9 cards in its inner faces + 1 ID card. However, it is quite light. At this price, I think the quality is reasonable.
