This promised to be a queersploitation, and not only that, one set in Kingston, Jamaica. Awesome. After all, I loved Django Unchained, which is given as an example of a blaxploitation movie, while also portraying slavery as evil and vile and wrong, and even having one white main character procl...
source: http://thefaultinourblogs.blogspot.comHoly Michael's names, this book! I was expecting some heart-warming philosophical novel when I picked it up, based off the reviews on the cover. The cover is gorgeous, by the way. It's iridescent. What I found was an imaginative world, and the story of i...
