The New York Times review of No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black & Free in America:
-
Ijeoma Oluo: "The reader will arrive at the end of [No Ashes in the Fire] with a respect for Moore and the many levels of self-realization he has reached, excited to see his already admirable career as a writer, advocate and activist continue to grow. I found myself thinking of all of the black boys I grew up with who also seemed invisible. The boys who were told that their creativity, their softness, their queerness and their beauty were incompatible with their blackness. They will certainly see themselves in Moore’s story and, let’s hope, feel a little bit less alone."
-
Esquire: "A staggering work that calls into question the truths we assume about ourselves and those among us."
-
bell hooks: "No Ashes in the Fire is part memoir, part social commentary. Darnell honestly tells his story with an intensity and passion that offers readers a deep understanding of a gay black male coming of age who open-heartedly claims his identity, and who embraces redemptive suffering. Ultimately, he reaches out to everyone with an inclusive love."
