100 boyfriends is an irreverent, unpredictable book abt messed up gays thats often simultaneously hilarious yet somber. i like the freewheeling, no-holds-barred depiction of gay sexuality, relationships and community, as it's clear purnell has no care for the mainstream, straight, heteronormative gaze. id also find myself frequent struck by how great and effective the author's non-cliché imagery and metaphor are, fully able to encapsulate a certain feeling or state. i'll be checking out more of purnell's works for sure.
