Paperback Description:
Queer tells the story of J.D. Foster, who is on trial for killing two boys, one white, one black in Ellis, Mississippi where there is a "bursting egg of homophobia." J.D. Foster, himself, can’t seem to quell his desires for his childhood lover, Schevoski, whose absence has a lingering effect on Foster, particularly in his visits to the city of New Orleans where the "flashing red orb from the street" seems to haunt him.
