<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This novel follows the life of a young African American male who, discovering his dual sexuality as he graduates from college, spends the next eight years alternately trying to face and deny the truth of his passions. A vivid portrait of contemporary black life, combined with bisexuality, AIDS, and racism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The re-issue of a remarkable first novel by a young, gay, black author who fashioned a deeply moving and compelling coming of age story out of the highly controversial issues of bisexuality and AIDS. <p/> Law school, girlfriends, and career choices were all part of Raymond Tyler's life, but there were other, more terrifying issues for him to confront. Being black was tough enough, but Raymond was becoming more and more conscious of sexual feelings that he knew weren't right. He was completely committed to Sela, his longtime girlfriend, but his attraction to Kelvin, whom he had met during his last year in law school, had become more than just a friendship. <p/> Fleeing to New York to escape both Sela and Kelvin, Raymond finds himself more confused than ever before. New relationships--both male and female--give him enormous pleasure but keep him from finding the inner peace and lasting love he so desperately desires. The horrible illness and death of a friend eventually force Raymond, at last, to face the truth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Critical Acclaim for <b>Invisible Life</b> <p/>Selected in <b>Vibe</b> magazine's Fifth Anniversary Edition as one of its favorite books "on race, gender, and rules you must not live without." <p/>"A quick, entertaining and thought-provoking read--This is a compelling story that commands and holds the attention until the final page is turned."<br>--<b>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</b> <p/>"Black Americans--have been given a rare opportunity with this book to broaden their understanding of lifestyles like or unlike their own.
