Michael 是一名在伦敦长大的混血同性恋少年。他终其一生都在探索兼具希腊裔塞浦路斯人与牙买加人身份的意义——却从未觉得自己足够“希腊”或足够“黑人”。随着年龄的增长，Michael 的出柜只是他了解自我和寻找归属的开始。当他发现 Drag Society 时，他终于找到了属于自己的归宿——Black Flamingo 也就此诞生。这部处女作以赤诚的坦白、敏锐的洞察和抒情的笔触，探讨了造就我们自身并让我们绽放光芒的多重身份认同。

“文学价值”是个很难界定的东西。这是一本出名的书，也曾引发过（负面的）现实事件。虽然它是1978年写的，但它的 Google 搜索量和文中列出的可借图书之一《The Black Flamingo》相当。它反映了一个代表性不足群体的思想——我指的是白人至上主义者，而不是……
"Literary value" is a hard thing to define. It's a famous book that has inspired (negative) real world events. It has comparable Google search traffic to "The Black Flamingo", one of the books listed in the article as being available, despite being written in 1978. It captures the thinking of an under represented group of people - by which I mean white supremacists, not…
……二选一的通过/淘汰审查。关于《特纳日记》（The Turner Diaries）的热度——我觉得我前面已经解释过了。根据 Google Trends 显示，尽管它是大概50年前出版的，但搜索量和文章里提到的参考书之一《The Black Flamingo》差不多。所以，我觉得热度并不是 BPL 决定上架哪些书的决定性因素。再者，那些实质上被禁的书，按定义根本不可能……
…pass/fail check. Regarding the popularity of The Turner Diaries - I believe I already addressed this. It has similar search volume, per Google Trends, as one of the example books from the article - "The Black Flamingo" - despite being published ~50 years earlier. So, I don't think popularity is a determining factor in what books the BPL is making available. Furthermore, effectively banned books, by definition, cannot…
