"An imaginative epic with a magical
intensity." Richard Labonté, Q Syndicate Bookmarks
For 21 years, Marcus Coleman has fantasized about a lifelong romance with a handsome college quarterback
he once saw in a photograph.
Thanks
to the Internet, Marcus discovers the former quarterback’s whereabouts.
Thanks to a shot of tequila, Marcus dials
the former quarterback’s number.
Thanks to a curious twist of fate,
the former quarterback answers the phone with: “Marcus, when you coming home?”
How big a deal
can one pissant little photo turn out to be?
Big enough to take you on a fantastical journey with a new
kind of buddy duo, featuring the first superstar athlete to admit his love for another man while in the prime of his pro career.
From the Sugar Bowl to the Super Bowl, a story of love, football and some very potent daydreams. Your ticket is your imagination.
Reviews
"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." Richard Labonté, Q Syndicate Bookmarks
