The Gentleman is Blue

By Tal Atkins

"The atrocious crime of being a young man...I shall neither attempt to palliate nor deny."
--William Pitt the Elder

Graphic, caustic, and humorous, The Gentleman Is Blue tells the story of Alex, a wealthy young man struggling with his sexuality at a privileged Catholic high school in Louisiana. Scathing wit and sarcastic jibes cannot conceal the turbulence brewing within this group of students at St. Andrews High. The Gentleman Is Blue is a taste of dark humor served Southern style.

Wealth, sexuality, love, discrimination, and fear shape this coming of age tale told in the grand tradition of the Southern novel.
