Harris weaves issues of race, sexuality, identity, and class in this groundbreaking work of fiction that proves that African-American gay romance has an important place in the literary market.  Harris gives his readers a refreshing view of African-American achievement, a touching characterization of a man living with AIDS, and a sensitive depiction of gay/heterosexual friendships that may be rare, but not unheard of in the world outside of the book’s pages.  An intriguing love-story and a quiet but powerful call to corrective action.
