There's Something You Should Know about Leroy - Kamau Mahakoe - Bog

She poses nude - not naked; there's a difference.Prudence is anything but. She lacks the foresight, discretion, tact and - well - prudence, that would save her from some very sticky situations. She is a liberal-minded and uninhibited guitarist and part-time artist's model who is in love with her best friend, Leroy. Leroy's sexual orientation is, well, ambiguous, at least to those who think they know him well.In drops the stunningly beautiful sixteen-year-old, Cheyenne, fleeing from abuse in Montego Bay and seeking refuge in Greater Portmore, a community on the verge of plummeting into full-scale crime. Inspector Lloyd is kept on his toes, what with all the drugs, guns and sex being passed around. Will he be able to rescue the innocents from the clutches of violence?Set in the "Sunshine City" of Portmore, "There's Something You Should Know About Leroy" is a contemporary satire on this dynamic Jamaican community that is bursting at the seams. Will their lovers' triangle morph into a plain old square; or a circle, perhaps? The cycle of innocence merging into experience, teaching us that we know not what we think we know.
