Borderline Fiction (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Wounded from a troubled childhood and struggling to find his place in the world, Marcus is young and in love . . . again. And when his latest crush, Gifty, starts showing him true affection, he is ready to reconsider his lifestyle - the drugs, the casual encounters. At least for a little while.

Borderline Fiction is a deeply affecting contemporary tale written with an intensity of emotion and vulnerability. The novel is a close-up, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes funny examination of what it means to be a young black man navigating today's world.

Tortured, beautiful, anxious and poetic, Borderline Fiction is a memorable glimpse into the inner world of a young man searching for an authentic way to love and be loved.
