Description
MENAFTER10 is a geosocial networking and online dating application for gay “urban men looking for urban men.”
Among its users is Chauncey Lee, who is always online, always looking. What exactly he’s looking for is a mystery even to him, but he does his best trying to find it by dating in bedrooms across an unknown city. Brontae Williams is just the opposite. He’s lonely and desperately wants to settle down into a long-term relationship. His biggest problem is that the only thing anyone wants these days is quick and casual sex. LeMilion Meeks, however, is used to the fast life. With his big personality, he might come off as content with snorting coke in club bathrooms, but he’s learning that knowing his HIV status is entirely different than knowing what to do with it.
Despite the differences between them, their reasons for using the app are the same. The stories of these men and the men they meet online intersect and converge in this brilliant and sexy debut novel.
“In MENAFTER10, Casey Hamilton sings a song of sad young men, in a voice blending the better aspects of James Earl Hardy and Jackie Susann—cynical, very nearly joyless, yet finally moving. Hamilton and his novel are important additions to the canon of Black queer men’s literature.” —LARRY DUPLECHAN, Author of Blackbird and Got ’til It’s Gone
