Présentation de l'éditeur :
Los Angeles has no ghettos, according to some. And that is nearly true. But even behind the sun-kissed façade of privilege in its Black upper middle class is a harsher reality....
So begins the tale of Dorian Moore, a seductive young man who provides comfort to the moneyed, the neglected, the lost, and the lonely in an elegant hilltop community in Southern California -- Maggie Lester Allegro among them.
Disillusioned by a loveless marriage, Maggie finds support in her small circle of women friends, and sexual healing in Dorian's arms. But the blessing brought by this pretty black man soon becomes a fatal curse for Maggie and her husband, Lamont. When Lamont -- the son of an influential member of the Baldwin Hills gentry -- seeks sexual solace outside the marriage, a series of terrible truths come to light...and soon he begins to crumble under the weight of his own family secrets and lies that threaten to shatter his carefully guarded life.
Poetically rendered and provocative, In Search of Pretty Young Black Men is an illuminating novel that challenges our notions of sex, success, prestige, and, most of all, love.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 163 pages. Published in 2005. The author's second novel. Stanley Bennett Clay's finest achievement. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Stanley Bennett Clay's "In Search of Pretty Young Black Men". His erotic thriller. "An engaging novel that will have readers caught up from page one. Stanley Bennett Clay has a poetic way with words, and the erotic scenes are as steamy as they come. A lust-laced hallelujah" (Zane). Stanley Bennett Clay is best-known as a screenwriter and playwright. He adapted both "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and "Looking For God" to enormous critical acclaim. His debut novel, "Diva", was a surprise bestseller. "In Search of Pretty Young Black Men" is his book on his adopted city, Los Angeles, where he has pretty much lived most of his writing life. It opens with a poignant quote from W. E. B. Dubois: "Los Angeles is wonderful. Nowhere in the United States is the Negro so well and beautifully housed nor the average efficiency and intelligence in the colored population so high. Out here, there would seem to be no limit to your opportunities, your possibilites" (W. E. B. Dubois). Clay depicts Los Angeles as few others have: He does not leave out any of the steamiest, sleaziest, and dirtiest details, and the all-consuming American Dream that has always driven them. Anyone who wants to understand the sex appeal of the Black Stud to white women, black women, and white men should read this "unputdownable" book. Anyone who simply wants a good read, ditto. An absolute "must-have" title for Stanley Bennett Clay collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Stanley Bennett Clay. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Bennett Clay's signature is one of the most elaborately beautiful we have ever seen. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0743497155. Signed by Author. N° de réf. du vendeur 8107
