Ebook About
A powerful and provocative collection of essays that offers poignant reflections on living between society’s most charged, politicized, and intractably polar spaces—between black and white, rich and poor, thin and fat.Savala Nolan knows what it means to live in the in-between. Descended from a Black and Mexican father and a white mother, Nolan’s mixed-race identity is obvious, for better and worse. At her mother’s encouragement, she began her first diet at the age of three and has been both fat and painfully thin throughout her life. She has experienced both the discomfort of generational poverty and the ease of wealth and privilege. It is these liminal spaces—of race, class, and body type—that the essays in Don’t Let It Get You Down excavate, presenting a clear and nuanced understanding of our society’s most intractable points of tension. The twelve essays that comprise this collection are rich with unforgettable anecdotes and are as humorous and as full of Nolan’s appetites as they are of anxieties. The result is lyrical and magnetic. In “On Dating White Guys While Me,” Nolan realizes her early romantic pursuits of rich, preppy white guys weren’t about preference, but about self-erasure. In the titular essay “Don’t Let it Get You Down,” we traverse the cyclical richness and sorrow of being Black in America as Black children face police brutality, “large Black females” encounter unique stigma, and Black men carry the weight of other people’s fear. In “Bad Education,” we see how women learn to internalize rage and accept violence in order to participate in our culture. And in “To Wit and Also” we meet Filliss, Grace, and Peggy, the enslaved women owned by Nolan’s white ancestors, reckoning with the knowledge that America’s original sin lives intimately within our present stories. Over and over again, Nolan reminds us that our true identities are often most authentically lived not in the black and white, but in the grey of the in-between. Perfect for fans of Heavy by Kiese Laymon and Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay, Don’t Let It Get You Down delivers an essential perspective on race, class, bodies, and gender in America today.

Book Don't Let It Get You Down: Essays on Race, Gender, and the Body Review :



Each essay in this collection is worthy of its own review. A fantastic collection spanning topics from the carceral state to academic privilege to the female body. Each essay stops you in your tracks and makes you think and reflect. I can't recommend it highly enough!
You know when you open up a book, and the words just begin to sing to you like lyrics of your favorite song? The kind of witty, funny, lighthearted but deep-seated prose that just speaks to your heart and soul, that permits you, the reader, to bear true witness to a fascinating person's life story as told through her wit, her thoughtfulness, and her poise? This is that book. This is Savala Nolan's story (or, part of her story--I hope there are subsequent books that tell us more!). Through a series of essays describing stages and phases of her life, Nolan carries the reader from the high rises and bright lights of New York City to the tucked-away hillsides of Italy, and through it all just sings her story out loud. I am blown at how Nolan manages--in her debut novel!--to convey equal parts humor, depth, grief, longing and belonging, love (LOVE, so much love), and powerful prose describing her experiences as a Black, Mexican, and white woman. This is the kind of written talent and soul-baring writing that most talented authors achieve in their fourth or fifth books. And yet, Nolan has achieved an apex at such an early stage in her career. As an aside: at first, I sat down (as I usually do) to read this with a pencil in hand, to underline/mark the sections that spoke to me; but after imbibing the first chapter, and identifying with so much of what/how Nolan wrote, I realized that there was just too much to mark. I let the pencil be and just read the exquisite work cover to cover in a couple of sittings. I just can't wait to read whatever comes next from this rising star -- thank you for this gift, Savala Nolan.
