It has been nominated for a Lambda literary award ('Lammy') as Best Gay Fiction and will likely win.
The book was published last year and will be released as a paperback later this month. Raw and transcendent are the words applicable to Paul Mendez's semi-autobiographical debut novel 'Rainbow Milk.' A multi-generational dissection of sexuality, race, and religion on the rocky evolution of a young gay Black man, it is set in England from the late 1950s to the 2016 Brexit election.
