Flamboyants: The Queer Harlem Renaissance I Wish I'd Known by George M. Johnson

inspiring

4.0
I enjoyed the author’s stories on how each Flamboyant impacted or is reflected in their own life and writings, etc.
I would’ve liked more history and stories about each person, though.
The illustrations and artwork throughout are GORGEOUS!! Vibrant, colorful, and how we might imagine each Flamboyant on stage or out in Harlem at the time!
My Favorite was the Zora Neale Hurston bio/chapter/story.
The book did introduce me to several prominent figures from the Harlem Renaissance I didn’t previously know, and this is very much appreciated!
Also, great to have the recommendations for further reading at the end of the book…always to learn more and spread the word about these amazing queer voices and people!
