Críticas:

"Blackbird" just wasn't the first Black gay coming out tale; it was?and still is?one of the quirkiest and funniest novels I've ever read. Duplechan's lyrical, free-floating prose is joyful, even when tackling teen angst and (gasp!) an exorcism. And while the worlds they exist in and world views they possess are very different, Johnnie Ray Rousseau helped pave the literary road that my own fictional creations, Mitchell "Little Bit" Crawford & Raheim "Pooquie" Rivers, have traveled. There are very few books that, when mentioned, make me smile; "Blackbird" is on that very short list.?James Earl Hardy, author of the "B-Boy Blues" series--James Earl Hardy "James Earl Hardy "

"Blackbird" soars?it's a funny, beautifully written novel. I fell in love with Johnnie Ray. Larry Duplechan is Patrick Dennis with a brain.?Vito Russo--Vito Russo "Vito Russo "

Reseña del editor:

First published by St. Martin’s in 1986, Blackbird is a funny, moving, gay coming-of-age novel about growing up black and gay in Southern California. The lead character, Johnnie Ray Rousseau, is a high school student upset at losing the lead role in the school staging of Romeo and Juliet; if that weren’t enough, his best friend has been beaten badly by his father, and his girlfriend is pressuring him to have sex for the first time. All the while, he’s intrigued by Marshall MacNeill, a fellow drama class member who’s surely the sexiest man to walk God’s green earth—at least according to Johnnie Ray. This novel of adolescent awakening is as fresh and heartfelt as it was when first published. Features an introduction by Michael Nava.
