Instead, he's a Narcissus. He can't stop seeing his own reflection. And, for him, that might be just as dangerous as being a black man in the United States. In Razed by TV Sets, McCall uses a variety of essay topics--ranging from Tupac Shakur to CM Punk to psych wards--to show how depictions of race and masculinity have affected how he sees himself and how the world sees him. Razed by TV Sets is an essay collection filled with sports heroes, musicians, and cultural icons. But, above all, it is a collection filled by mirrors and all the threats and discoveries that mirrors may hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason McCall\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the essay collection Razed by TV Sets and the poetry collections What Shot Did You Ever Take (co-written with Brian Oliu); A Man Ain't Nothin'; Two-Face God; Mother, Less Child (co-winner of the 2013 Paper Nautilus Vella Chapbook Prize); Dear Hero, (winner of the 2012 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize and co-winner of the 2013 Etchings Press Whirling Prize); I Can Explain; and Silver.
