A newcomer to New York, Wyeth is a Black painter who grew up in the South and is trying to find his place in the contemporary Manhattan art scene. It's challenging. Gallery shows displaying bad art. Pretentious artists jockeying for attention. The gossip and the backstabbing. While his part-time work for an art restorer is engaging, Wyeth suffers from artist's block with his painting and he is finding it increasingly difficult to spark his creativity.

When he meets Keating, a white former seminarian who left the priesthood, Wyeth begins to reconsider how to observe the world, in the process facing questions about the conflicts between Black and white art, the white gaze on the Black body, and the compromises we make - in art and in life.

As he did so adeptly in Booker finalist Real Life and the bestselling The Late Americans, Brandon Taylor brings to life in Minor Black Figures a fascinating set of characters, this time in the competitive art world, and the lives they lead with each and on their own. Minor Black Figures is an involving and tender portrait of friendship, creativity, and the connections between them.

From the Booker Prize finalist and bestselling author: a perceptive novel about a gay Black painter navigating the worlds of art, desire, and creativity

I didn’t see the police car until I’d been spotted. The veteran deputy, Earl Penny, was old enough to be my grandfather. As I was making my getaway, he expertly used his spotlight to illuminate my car from across the highway’s median strip.

I tell myself off for the internalised homophobia. I’ve started noticing it since my therapy started a couple of days ago. My therapist told me to be more self-accepting, so I tell myself it is fine to think such thoughts, and that my guilt is a construct of a heteronormative society.

just recently finished book 2 in the holmes&moriarity series by josh lanyon "all she wrote" and book 3 in the ben ames case files by gayleen froese "the man who hated clouds"

still not completely sure what i think of either and at this moment; probably have more gripes than praise. might change in the future ...

i wasn't too happy with the ending of the case in all she wrote. it wasn't all

"Did you know The First Out was almost a movie? In 2012, a trailer was shot in Stockton, CA, for a Kickstarter campaign called 'History in the Filmmaking.' It brought Brad Hawley's story to life—a gay athlete navigating pro baseball. Watch it here: tinyurl.com/ypna7z6b "

💔 „Der Rangierer und der Bürohengst...“
Zufall oder Schicksal? In Blackthorne Yard gibt es keine Zufälle – nur Bewegungen, die mehr sagen als Worte.
Manche Begegnungen fühlen sich an, als wären sie vorherbestimmt.

Sie streifen aneinander vorbei, als hätte es nie eine andere Möglichkeit gegeben. Ein leises Déjà-vu in der Dunkelheit, ein Moment, der sich zu wiederholen scheint – oder vielleicht schon immer darauf gewartet hat, erneut zu geschehen.

Welche düsteren Geschichten haben euch schon einmal das Gefühl gegeben, dass sich etwas unausweichlich wiederholt?

👇 Schreibt mir in die Kommentare – welche Bücher oder Filme haben euch dieses Gefühl gegeben?

A LUMINOUS, MELANCHOLY NIGERIAN novel follows a young gay Igbo man’s self-questioning and search for love from his boyhood up until the government’s 2014 ban on same-sex marriages. Haunting and evocative, with a strong sense of place. B PLUS
