Started this book after reading Dopefiend hoping for something similar and did not get that. The level of interest I had in the book was very up and down, especially because it was just not what I was expecting. Not a bad book but never stayed exciting for long

pretty brutal abuse scenes that are hard to stomach. fairly disappointed with the main character's evolution...

Tense and gorgeous. Definitely a product of its time but still an interesting read for those interested in black literature and in how queer folks are portrayed in literature.

An emotional and heartbreaking book that certainly misses the mark many times in terms of dealing with queerness but does its best for its time period. Absolutely touching and inspired.
