Mama Can’t Raise No Man is a novel that unfolds through a series of letters between a colorful cast of characters and the main protagonist, Duane. Despite his efforts to turn his life around, Duane once again finds himself in prison, facing charges of intent to supply drugs and domestic violence. However, things are not as clear-cut as they seem. The novel is a unique and eye-opening exploration of black masculinity, challenging different definitions of manhood. It is brimming with intelligent and thought-provoking ideas while remaining engaging, witty, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny.
