In the Life: A Black Gay Anthology

Rating:
Summary: A gem; a first-of-its-kind
Review: There are so many reasons why you should buy this book. If you liked "Brother to Brother", you'll really enjoy its predecessor. So many of these talented brothers have succumbed to AIDS: Hemphill, Beam, Dixon, etc. This book is a testament to their greatness. The book ends with a list of black gay literary resources. He includes essays about black gay organizing. There's an interview with Richard Bruce Nugent, the Harlem Renaissance writer who was the first African-American to mention homosexuality in fiction. This book is priceless. Do all you can to get a copy.
