€˜Fat from Papa€™s Head€™ is a collection of short stories targeted at young adults. All of the protagonists are young African-American male teenagers and young adults. The main characters in these stories are at pivotal points in their young lives. Some of the youth are at rite-of-passage moments, and others are merely faced with decisions. This collection was composed in response to the author€™s conversations with incarcerated African-American male youth. The discussions centered on reading materials, and the need and want for stories that reflected their lives. These stories are an attempt to meet that need and want.
