A message from David Alan de Kocks, The first book was a captivating tale of Georgie’s journey. A Coloured in Full Flight, the fight to be me, is his second instalment. He entices the reader to join him on another written adventure. Born into poverty, racially segregated, abused and bullied throughout his young life, we follow his intriguing story and experience. Georgie, the high school student and later, a young adult, portrays the image of an attentive, well-adjusted and mannered individual. Being gay, he was often discriminated against and isolated by peers and society for being different. Like any curious young man, he had a sense of adventure. Exploring his sexuality, he learned to deal with varying emotions of love, lust, fear, anger, joy and sadness. Throwing caution to the wind, he recounts outrageous and breath-taking escapades, offering genuine, honest and realistic glimpses into the mind and body of a tortured confused soul.Georgie never buckled under public scrutiny or prejudice and refused to follow a crowd or cruise along, merely shifted into overdrive. He took risks along his path, pushed boundaries while treading into dangerous and alien territory. Sometimes he made a perfect landing or veered off course, the emotional and physical bruises part of becoming an adult. Licking his wounds and pride, he would take off, intent on soaring above the pain, searching for something or someone to ease his inner confusion and loneliness. The aching desire to belong, to be accepted and to be himself, seemed out of reach. A unique reading experience, indeed.
