Wait Til I Get Over

Durand Jones’ Wait Til I Get Over is a memoir and a love letter. It is the story of Jones’ life, his growth and revelations, the wisdom of his hometown and the wisdom he could only gain once he left. In it, he writes through Hillaryville’s contradictions: the pristine beauty and the ragged roads; his teenage desire to leave and his adult desire to honour his tangled roots; the plantation history and the ups and downs of the Black community that made homes of this reparation town. The record is vulnerable, personal, touching on Jones’ relationship to church life, to his mother, to his queerness, to his worth.
