RAINBOW MILK
Paul Mendez
Dialogue Books This fresh and fearless literary debut charts the extraordinary story of 19-year-old Jesse, a black, gay man rejected by his family and Jehovah’s Witnesses community, who runs away to London, where he finds work as a rent boy. Deftly exploring everything from sex, drugs and music to the virulent racism experienced by the Windrush generation and their descendants, this is a novel that unveils a hidden narrative in British culture. Daring, dexterous, exciting and accomplished, Mendez is a writer with plenty to say. Out now
