Everybody's Jonesin' for Something
University of Nebraska Press 2020
BackWaters Prize Hononrable Mention
Turning an unflinching spotlight on the American Dream, Indigo Moor plunges headfirst into national—and personal—laments and desires. From Emmett Till to the fall of the Twin Towers and through the wildfires of Paradise, California, Moor weaves a thread through the hopes, sacrifices, and Sisyphean yearnings that make this country the beautiful trap that it is. Everybody’s Jonesin’ for Something takes an imagistic leap through the darker side of our search for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, perusing what we lose, what we leave behind, and what strange beauty we uncover.

"Robeson: a star of the first half of the 20th century whose communist affiliation deemed him an un-American traitor. Othello: the African Moor of self-hatred, attempting desperately to be a part of the 'dominant culture'" Brandon Yu writes at SF Gate.
