Vernon, Dwayne. "My Man, My Boyz", Nocargo, 2007.
A Look at Black Gay Men
Amos Lassen
Many of us find that our friends in the gay community become our families. We share things that our biological families have no concept of and we use each other to find the comfort we need. "My Man, My Boyz" is a tale of men coming together as family. They share compassion and life and this is the backdrop of the novel which is full of emotion. Tyrell and Chuck are building a relationship but there is something in Chuck's past that could possibly destroy their coming together. Tariff is struggling to deal with his lover's dying wish for him to not be alone and to find love and his new friend, Demetrius, is waiting for Tariff to make a decision. Reese and Mike have been together for a long time. Mike is dealing with his father's rejection of him and Reese is experiencing problems getting his National Football League started. These men come together and they all have issues yet they share a bond of love that no issue can tear apart.
As I read I found myself wanting to be a member of this group of men. They sincerely care about each other and their lives were intertwined. We are not often let into the lives of African-American gay men. Vernon gives us an amazing portrait of gay black men who live honest lives and he breaks down the stereotypical ideas that circulate about them. His writing style is clear and clean and the plot is action filled with many twists. Although the story is somewhat predictable and at times a bit hard to believe, Dwayne Vernon gives us an enjoyable read.
