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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audible","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":67888015114544,"sku":"ZEg7lm","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49361465573680,"sku":"10g7lm","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/g7lm-Square-cover.webp?v=1790752726","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-g7lm","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
