Synopsis

From the rural South Texas of the nineteen fifties to a desert mesa in New Mexico many years later, Anyone’s Son illuminates the moments of a life animated by the author’s yearning, at its root sexual, for the company of another man. In five sections, each one corresponding to a stage in the life delineated here, the author offers scenes from his childhood on a small farm, as well as moments of conflicted adolescence. He explores unmitigated sexual pleasure, sometimes fraught with anguish and shame. He remembers scenes from marriage and fatherhood, from the wreckage and rebuilding that came at midlife. And finally, glimpses from a second marriage, this time unconflicted, to a man, to the right man. At its heart, Anyone’s Son poses an implicit question: What is identity?

Anyone’s Son is a book of music and memory. In this remarkable first collection David Meischen brings us with him across decades and landscapes, through bedrooms and parked cars, across a life riven through with longing. Queer as every Texas sunset, queer as needing to leave and stay at once. This is a book of opening and unbuttoning. This is a book unzipping its very text so a reader might see the heart throbbing there below the page.
Sam Sax, author of bury it and madness
