Sincere's early years match my own in so many ways. I was raised on the south side of Chicago, and took to the streets and the drug and gang culture as a pre-teen. Before my high school class made it to graduation, I was already in prison. As a child, I lived as an adult, and the Feds sentenced me accordingly. Now, at the age of 27, with 10 years in, I'm able to see the error of my old ways. I now use my experiences and credibility to help others that are still blinded by the shine to see the true consequences of the grind, so that maybe they can avoid missing out on as much life as I have. In writing Sincere, my goal was to introduce the reader to the real people, real struggles, and real consequences with only a small bit of fantasy entertainment in between. If the blunt rawness of the story troubles you, I have done well in accurately describing a life that so many of us risked death to live.

Explores the history, religion, art, and politics behind the history of sincerity, spanning a timeline dotted with Protestant theology, paintings by the insane, French satire, and the anti-hipster movement.

“Now and then,” writes Lionel Trilling, “it is possible to observe the moral life in process of revising itself.” In this new book he is concerned with such a mutation: the process by which the arduous enterprise of sincerity, of being true to one’s self, came to occupy a place of supreme importance in the moral life—and the further shift which finds that place now usurped by the darker and still more strenuous modern ideal of authenticity. Instances range over the whole of Western literature and thought, from Shakespeare to Hegel to Sartre, from Robespierre to R.D. Laing, suggesting the contradictions and ironies to which the ideals of sincerity and authenticity give rise, most especially in contemporary life. Lucid, and brilliantly framed, its view of cultural history will give Sincerity and Authenticity an important place among the works of this distinguished critic.

The essays in this volume demonstrate how the performance of sincerity is culturally specific and is enacted in different ways in different media and disciplines, including law and the arts.
