The Sweet's Price for Edenville and Other Stories of Black Gay Males consists of eight short stories about black gay males in the Southeastern United States and the ways they try to define their sexuality within a culture that can love them just as much as it can attempt to conscript them in a narrow definition of blackness and manhood in a long war against racism. Often the first casualty is the heart. From the very young who may not know the word "gay" to the older who may run from that same word or try to define themselves within it, each is trying to make a space for an authentic expression of their humanity in loving and sometimes hostile personal worlds.

" ""Serving as tour guide, Fox invites his audience to go with him log rafting down the Kentucky River, bass fishing in the Cumberland Mountains, rabbit hunting in the Bluegrass, and chasing outlaws in the border country of Kentucky and Virginia. Along the route we meet Old South colonels and their ladies, lawless moonshiners and their shy daughters, bloodthirsty preachers, and educated young gentlemen visitors who explore the southern mountains for fun and profit. These sketches offer a delightful blend of macho adventure and sage observation by an erudite young writer who had lived in the two worlds that provide his subject matter-the elegant society of the Bluegrass aristocracy and the hardscrabble feuding clans of mountaineers.""
