Description
Set in 1990's Brooklyn, Sons is the story of a teenage boy's struggle with his sexuality in the age of Hip-hop. In relentless prose, the novel moves from light to dark, through race, culture, class and religion to its tragic climax. A vivid rendering of the pain, angst and isolation of adolescent homosexuality, Sons is a significant work of American fiction.

Brutal, brilliant and sensitive story of a young man coming out in Brooklyn. Morgan's writing sizzles and burns. Unremittingly tragic. After you read this book, you will definitely crave something a little more cheerful.
