Gary In Your Pocket - Stories and Notebooks of Gary Fisher

"I admire Gary Fisher's writings for their unrelenting focus on the more knotty psychological issues of gay identity, thus further problematizing the notion of a monolithic black identity. His work will help us start seeing the black gay male writer as an individual rather than as a symbol, a martyr or a mascot. Again, Eve Sedgwick surprises and astounds us with her insights into the universe. Don Belton's introduction to the world of Fisher is useful, touching, and timely."--Michele Wallace
