However, when so many great books have been written by/on black gay men (Brother to Brother, One More River to Cross, Vanishing Rooms, etc.), there is little need to read this book now. This book allows white men to speak more than blacks do. Relatives of Smith's black lovers say he exploited his mates. Why did Langston Hughes' estate allow his work to be published here but not spoken in Isaac Julien's "Looking for Langston"? Don't let the new cool cover fool you. There's better stuff out there, even interracial stuff.
