Damn shame... Probably doing this to get a quick route to successI was just listening to an interview he was on on NPR yesterday. First time hearing about him. Had me hooked with some new book he has about monsters and traversing across Africa. But then he started talking about how he makes his main characters gay and that’s where he lost me.

What's the book about? Is the only gay book in his catalog? What books by him do you own?

The books about sexual exploration/liberation in Europe, among other things.
All of them, including the narratives. It is what it is with Baldwin, but shouldn’t preclude his greatness.
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
I'd write one without cacs or other non-blacks in sight
I'm.also working on a story about a virus that kills all non-blacks in America and Africa
