Book Reviews of Freedom in this Village: Twenty-Five Years of Black Gay Men's Writing
Book Review: Poetic and Emotive pieces on black gay life/vision/passions/joys
Summary: 5 Stars
Its not a book to read from cover to cover, but beautifully written short pieces that you can skip to and delve into unexplored black gay world of love, passions, sufferings, perspectives. This is NOT for the beginner or the one discovering their sexuality. It is NOT for the gay friendly NOR for the one looking for erotic turn-ons. This is a very mature compilation of different authors writings that will only be appreciated by the one who has already experienced gay black sexuality. Then you will discover, like I did, that there is this wonderful abstract underworld of meaningfulness in being black and gay at the same time not shoving it down your throat, but merely inviting the reader to experience the other end of the burning cigarette. OK this makes no sense to me either... But dont listen to this mediocre review and get the book if you are a mature reader. If you just green at the gay black thang, dont choose this. Look at my other reviews and select the books you think fit you best. I LOVE THIS BOOK! BUT ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE...
