“Nabil traces the image of his father through song.
With growing fascination and heartbreak, he draws out meaning
from the shadow of absence, and ultimately redefines what it
means to be a family.” - Michelle Zauner, New York Times bestselling author of Crying in H Mart and Grammy nominated musician
Japanese Breakfast
A memoir about one man's journey to connect with his musician
father, ultimately re-drawing the lines that define family and
race.
Throughout his adult life, whether he was opening a Seattle
record store in the '90s or touring the world as the only
non-white band member in alternative rock bands, Nabil Ayers
felt the shadow and legacy of his father's musical genius, and
his race, everywhere.
In 1971, a white, Jewish, former ballerina, chose to have a
child with the famous Black jazz musician Roy Ayers, fully
expecting and agreeing that he would not be involved in the
child's life. In this highly original memoir, their son, Nabil
Ayers, recounts a life spent living with the aftermath of that
decision, and his journey to build an identity of his own
despite and in spite of his father’s absence.
Growing up, Nabil only meets his father a handful of times. But
Roy’s influence is strong, showing itself in
Nabil’s instinctual love of music, and later, in the
music industry—Nabil’s chosen career path. By turns
hopeful—wanting to connect with the man who passed down his
genetic predisposition for musical talent—and frustrated
with Roy’s continued emotional distance, Nabil struggles
with how much DNA can define a family… and a
person.
Unable to fully connect with Roy, Nabil ultimately discovers
the existence of several half-siblings as well as a paternal
ancestor who was enslaved. Following these connections, Nabil
meets and befriends the descendant of the plantation owner,
which, strangely, paves the way for him to make meaningful
connections with extended family he never knew
existed.
Undeterred by his father's absence, Nabil, through sheer
will and a drive to understand his roots, re-draws the lines
that define family and race.
