A collection of personal essays examining relationships, whiteness, and masculinity. Nicholas Ward' s debut essay collection, All Who Belong May Enter, centers on self-exploration and cultural critique. These deeply personal essays examine whiteness, masculinity, and a Midwest upbringing through tales of sporting events, parties, posh (and not-so-posh) restaurant jobs, and the many relationships built and lost along the way. With a storyteller' s spirit, Ward recounts and evaluates the privilege of his upbringing with acumen and vulnerability. Ward' s profound affection for his friends, family, lovers, pets, and particularly for his chosen home, Chicago, shines through. This collection offers readers hope for healing that comes through greater understanding and inquiry into one' s self, relationships, and culture. Through these essays, Ward acknowledges his position within whiteness and masculinity, and he continuously holds himself and the society around him accountable. All Who Belong May Enter was selected by Jaquira Diaz as the winner of the 2020 Autumn House Press Nonfiction Prize.
"Well observed and curious, these essays will appeal to readers who, like Ward, are sensitive to inequality but unsure how to combat it. " * Publishers Weekly * "In All Who Belong May Enter, Ward thoughtfully and honestly interrogates aspects of masculinity and how it affects his relationships and how he moves through the world. He expands his personal story to explore how gentrification has changed cities like Detroit and Chicago, considering white silence and complicity. An introspective, beautifully written work. " -- Jaquira Diaz, author of Ordinary Girls
