A secret war rages between a Gay America, which is heavily steeped in white privilege; and a Black America, which continues to see homosexuality as a white man's "disease."Pariah Man is a shocking, funny, poignant exploration of this turmoil for young Chauncey Reese, a concert pianist who finds himself a double minority. He is torn by this war, and by his own issues of religion and self-esteem.Set in the "sexual revolution" years of the 1970s, we learn that for all our technology and advances, little has changed for black gays. Forty years later, the consequences of suffering extend beyond individuals, affecting their families, their communities, and even strangers. We are reminded of the great human lesson yet to be understood: oppression hurts the oppressor.Pariah Man was written for the sports fan, the classical music fan, and everyone in between.
