2. 2. 100 Boyfriends

   

   A jagged, darkly funny mosaic of flash fictions follows a rotating cast of Black queer men as they navigate hookups, heartbreak, addiction, and the search for meaning across bars, bedrooms, and city streets. Raw, outrageous, and tender by turns, these vignettes chart the overlaps of desire, self-sabotage, grief, and community, revealing intimacy in chaotic, often fleeting encounters. The result is a punk-spirited portrait of modern queer life that finds humor and grace amid messiness and pain.
