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.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0374538980\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780374538989\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Purnell, Brontez\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: MCD X Fsg Originals\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MCD X Fsg Originals","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Feb 2021)","offer_id":46081585709253,"sku":"9780374538989","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780374538989.jpg?v=1776047417","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/100-boyfriends","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
