Sacred Lips of the Bronx

Sacred Lips of the Bronx burns up the page and turns the readers expectations and heart upsidedown! Sadownick opens up and gives us a new, bold, sexy, spiritual, take on life. Sacred Lips of the Bronx is truly a gift. Gay or not, new American fiction doesn't get better than this, it's one of the all time best in gay fiction!

The Kirkus Review I saw here inspired me to express my opinion that this is one of the half dozen best novels about gay men from the last decade or more (with Latin Moon in Manhattan, Landscape/Memory, The Swimming Pool Library, The Waters of Thirst, and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh). It is sometimes very funny, sometimes very arousing, and manages to show that intragenerational misunderstandings can be as profound as intergenerational and interethnic ones. That's a lot for one book to do, and it is also beautifully written.
