Gay, Black, Crippled, Fat »

Like Hubert Selby's joyously tragic characters, Adarro Minton has created a faction of players that seem to exist on an Earth 2. The author has created powerful, challenging and at the end, beautiful stories about the most important and universal things in life and about humanity.

We are vaguely familiar these people, we have put them in radical pigeonholes and expect The Department of Homeland Security to keep them in their place.

This book contains stories of people living in the metropolitan back ends of New York City, some rich, some poor, all streetwise, misguided and desperate. a fat girl, a faggot, a lawyer and several others. We follow as their lives are systematically broken down and destroyed. This is a harsh, raw, and daring piece of writing. Be warned: not for the faint hearted.
