Synopsis

James Earl Hardy's classic novel celebrates its 25th anniversary

Years before "homo thug" and "down low" became infamous catchphrases, Omar Little put the "G" in Gangsta on HBO's critically acclaimed series The Wire, and Lil Nas X claimed a same gender loving space in pop music … there was B-Boy Blues.
Revisit or experience for the first time the story that ushered in the Africentric gay fiction genre, and put Black-on-Black male love on both the map and the bestseller lists!
