Waiting for the Sissy Killer is a fictional memoir that traces the life of Jamal McCoy from 1961, at age five, to 1986. Jamal is a young black gay man who deals with issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, and religion and is struggling with the sociological as well as psychological impact of the aforementioned on his fractured humanity. The story, told from the first person and characterized by sporadic psychotic internal dialogues emanating from the biographical ruminations of Jamal, provides an analysis of American life and culture from a black gay perspective.
