"In a world already moving in certain directions, where wealth and power are already distributed in certain ways, neutrality means accepting the way things are now. It is a world of clashing interests - war against peace, nationalism against internationalism, equality against greed, and democracy against elitism - and it seems to me both impossible and undesirable to be neutral in those conflicts." - Howard Zinn Growing up in a family where challenging basic social norms is a big no, young poet James Martin escapes his bourgeois country-boy lifestyle to go to the city and become his true character, along with his childhood best friend Allen Ripley. This story follows the life of young James Martin, and explores sexuality, social class, race, disabilities, addiction, and education during the early 20th century in America. I am not a historian, but i have tried to make this as accurate and as realistic as possible. Based in the 1920s-40s. Mentions of some mature themes, eg, mentions of sexuality, physical violence, drugs, alcohol and topics which may be upsetting for some. Feel free to pm me for more specific info!
