Percival Duke (Author)
The SINGER AND COMPOSER who is also an Author, Screenwriter and Librettist, concentrates his work on Racism, social inequalities, and life.Percival has lived with racism on the outskirts of his life, and he writes honestly about the sickness. The sickness which has a remedy: education.In his upcoming book, BLACK PICKET FENCE, (GERMAN - VON DER SCHATTENSEITE DES AMERIKANISCHEN TRAUMS), Percival indulges the reader a glimpse into his life as a gifted Black child who embarks upon a life he chooses to live against the will of his loving mother, his jealous and abusive father, and a society not ready to deal with the confrontation he would soon bring.In this autobiographical work, Percival tells the story of growing up and living by his own rules, not those simply given to him as a Black child in Texas.It is, at times, shocking, hilarious then heart-breaking. And every word of it is true.Release, 2023.

I lived on the street, then I lived in a villa. I slept with people for money until I got my first Broadway show.

I tried to kill my father twice - both times before I was ten years old. I was arrested five times before I turned sixteen while, at the same time, I had been labeled a child-prodigy.

I beat a man with a baseball bat because he punched his girlfriend in the face. I was homeless and washed myself in fast food restaurant restrooms to be clean for dance classes and auditions .

And if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. These 600 pages cover ONLY the first twenty years of the artist's turbulent life.

A life of tragedy, drama, art and music. This is a literary work that raises the bar for the modern autobiography.
