Best Black Gay Erotica
by Darieck Scott (Author) (Paperback - Jan 9, 2005)
In a powerful collection celebrating sex between black men,
Best Black Gay Erotica raises the standard
for literary porn. From the slowly building heat of
Reginald Harris's love story "The
Dream," to the raw lust of
Jay Russell's "Rude Boys," in
which two tops at a sex club negotiate which of them will give it up, these
stories serve up a rich feast of erotic imagination. The narrator of
Canaan Parker's "One for the Road"
recalls the particular skill that made his finest lover, Marco the
Magnificent, famous on the streets. And
Samuel R. Delany's "The Sleepwalkers"
is a paean to the heyday of gay sex in New York, when a night among the
burly beer-swigging men of the Mine Shaft ended only at dawn. With
contributions by
Thomas Glave,
Belasco, and
James Earl Hardy,
Best Black Gay Erotica presents some of
the hottest and best-written erotica in print today. |

of them into his orbit in the past. Frustrated in their initial attempts to
trace Damian’s whereabouts, the two seek help from Langston’s aunt, a
renowned psychic, whose cryptic warnings and unexpected hunches guide them
on a quest that takes them to New Haven and New York City and entangles them
in the investigation of Damian’s family history — and draws the hostile
attention of powerful and apparently supernatural forces.

Cheekie:
Child out of the Desire by
Clarence Nero (Author) (Hardcover -
April 1, 1998)
The Desire project in New Orleans,
once the pride of public housing, was home for Cheekie, as it had been for
his parents and grandparents. But now, in the 1970s, the
Desire has degenerated into a world
of violence, drugs, and poverty. Still the project is full of life as well,
and of people whose vibrant energy, love of fun and ties of family help
them to transcend their oppressive surroundings. Cheekie is a young man's
day-by-day account in the honest voice of a boy growing up in the
Desire.
Cheekie brings it all to life - the abuse and the love, the neglect
and the nurturing, the violence and the inspiration through which a child
came to manhood. |
