Five-time Lambda Literary Award nominee Randy Boyd's latest novel is a story of love, football and some very potent daydreams.
Enter a whole new world in a whole new universe, a universe
where little black boys' dreams come true. Follow the lifelong romance of a college cheerleader and quarterback who becomes
the first superstar athlete to admit his love for another man while in the prime of his pro football career.
An adventure-filled odyssey where serious issues like homophobia,
racism and AIDS exist right alongside fantastical characters like Hail Larry, Evil Announcer Guy, and the Emergency Wife.
Big fun! Your ticket is your imagination.
The Bearcats: Warm-Spirited ... Soulful ... Magical
"Warm-spirited
... resonates with soulful queries into the nature of love and life." Bay Area Reporter
"A madcap whirl told with infectiously
and ferociously inventive prose. Boyd's majestically imaginative epic embraces serious topics: interracial relationships,
homophobia in the sports world, black life on the down low, and living with AIDS. But Walt Loves the Bearcat is first and forever a love story, one written with a roller-coaster brio and a magical intensity that demand and deserve
the reader’s perseverance."
