I was shocked to open the computer today and see that another one of our luminaries has passed. E Lynn Harris, a best selling author who wrote about issues related identity and sexual identity. A self published author who started out selling his books at beauty shops and Black book stores and went on to become a best selling author.
Harris wrote 11 books, with four million copies of his work in print. His writing also appeared in Essence, the Washington Post Sunday Magazine, and Sports Illustrated.
He died while finishing up a west coast book tour at the age of 54. We will miss him, even if you weren't gay or on the down low you could still enjoy his creativity. He wrote with taste and love. God be with you! E. Lynn Harris!
