This is an oldie from 1998. It began with the question What is a black man?.Close to the Bone explores this question while following 2 young black men, Walker and Hal. The story jumps to the past giving us information on the characters. Intelligently written with interesting characters both main and secondary, Lamar will have you shaking your head in agreement, cracking up laughing, and clutching your pearls. Excellent read. Highly recommend!
