They are strangers, each with his own reasons for being there, but they share a truth that puts all of them at risk: they are gay—“batty men,” in Jamaican argot—and in a society where that identity can carry a devastating cost, they know they must be careful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThen, one night, a mob brutally attacks the group, killing one of the men. For those who survive, the road to recovery is both physical and emotional. As their bodies heal, each man is forced to confront the hatred, violence, and rage the attack has exposed. Some try to bury what happened; others turn toward anger and revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMarlon James delivers a gripping and deeply human story about friendship, survival, identity, and the compromises people are forced to make in order to live. Both a propulsive page-turner and an unflinching portrait of queer life in Jamaica during the 1980s and 1990s, it explores what happens when simply being yourself can become an act of courage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Offline Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50534810910772,"sku":"9798217433896","price":600.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/7388\/6004\/files\/9798217433896.jpg?v=1790183955","url":"https:\/\/offlinebooks.com\/products\/the-disappearers-a-novel","provider":"Offline Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
