White Sambo (1993) - In White Sambo Robert Sweet shows a virtuosic command of fictional techniques, but he is not showing off. His style is never merely an overlay, but always organic to the stories. And in this day when so many writers are specialists in the angst of their demographic group, Sweet manages to imbue his characters with human credibility and their situations with utterly recognizable tensions. And probably because of this, White Sambo offers a more powerful and touching vision of gay life than one could ever find in more politicized accounts. Here, it is always the people who matter. For me this book was a find. -- Shelby Steele, National Book Award winning author for The Content of our Character.
