As they tiptoe through minefields of romantic, substance-fueled misadventure--from dirty warehouses and gentrified bars in Oakland to desolate farm towns in Alabama--Purnell's characters strive for belonging in a world that dismisses them for being Black, broke, and queer. In spite of it--or perhaps because of it--they shine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArmed with a deadpan wit, Purnell finds humor in even the darkest of nadirs with the peerless zeal, insight, and horniness of a gay punk messiah. Together, the slice-of-life tales that writhe within \u003ci\u003e100 Boyfriends\u003c\/i\u003e are an inimitable tour of an unexposed queer underbelly. Holding them together is the vision of an iconoclastic storyteller, as fearless as he is human.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brontez Purnell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e MCD X Fsg Originals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\/2\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5\" H x 5.1\" L x 0.5\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780374538989\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740854190379,"sku":"9780374538989","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9780374538989.jpg?v=1774819283","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/100-boyfriends-brontez-purnell-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
