Gay characters search for sex, adventure, pleasure, self-realisation and love in Trinidad. Written with a highly enjoyable sharpness of perception and an engaging personal voice these stories find room for humour, tattoos, barbershops and terrible poetry, but also acute fear in a society where gay men experience prejudice, discrimination, and homophobic violence. Bagoo' s stories offer a witty and acutely drawn portrait of contemporary Trinidad in all its intersections of race, class and gender politics. Not least, they share a strong sense of place - Bagoo' s gay Woodbrook offers a fine sequel to V.S. Naipaul' s Woodbrook stories in his classic Miguel Street.
