{"description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "**From Goodreads:**\r\n\r\nInvisible Life is the story of a young man's coming of age. Law school, girlfriends, and career choices were all part of Raymond Tyler's life, but there were other, more terrifying issues for him to confront. Being black was tough enough, but Raymond was becoming more and more conscious of sexual feelings that he knew weren't \"right.\" He was completely committed to Sela, his longtime girlfriend, but his attraction to Kelvin, whom he had met during his last year in law school, had become more than just a friendship. No matter how much he tried to suppress them, his feelings were deeply sexual.\r\n\r\nFleeing to New York to escape both Sela and Kelvin, Raymond finds himself more confused than ever before. New relationships -- both male and female -- give him enormous pleasure but keep him from finding the inner peace and lasting love he so desperately desires. The horrible illness and death of a friend force Raymond, at last, to face the truth."}, "covers": [12369265, 1471083], "key": "/works/OL890025W", "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL78784A"}}], "title": "Invisible Life", "subjects": ["Fiction", "African American men in fiction", "African American men", "Young men in fiction", "Young men", "Bisexuals", "Bisexuals in fiction", "Bisexuality in fiction", "Bisexuality", "Young bisexual men", "Fiction, coming of age", "African americans, fiction", "Fiction, gay", "Large type books"], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "latest_revision": 13, "revision": 13, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-09T06:42:18.690796"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2021-11-13T13:22:00.825987"}}
