Book excerpt: "Novelty Act" is the memoir of the dancing trombone player known for his appearances on "America's Got Talent", "Steve Harvey's Big Time", "Showtime In Harlem" and "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". Aside from stories about what it was like to compete on these shows, Arons shares a life full of awkward sex and personal discovery as he finds out who he is and how he fits into society as the dancing trombone player. With a unique perspective on race, sexuality, and privilege, Arons presents elements of his "trinary matrix" theory to help navigate today's world of hyper polarized identity politics. It's like a cross between Frankl's "Man' Search for Meaning" and an opposite version of the movie "Green Book" where the only high stakes of a nerdy straight white guy who can dance is to claim his soul.
