Review:
Tropic of Detroit, Vol. I. By Frank Bond Beaumier. http://www.lulu.com/content/61284

The cover art has been painted and designed by the author himself. The painting is on one of the women who has fascinated and obsessed the writer. The same theme of women subjects is used to distinguish this set of trilogy, in the next two books.

This is the story of how one man searches for sexual satisfaction, finds it in many women, but is unable to come to terms with definite measures to secure his source of sexual satisfaction.

The main protagonist thrashes himself in his throes of dilemma. He is attracted to black women but lack the requisites to commit in a long-term relationship to any black women. Just like any young man, he faces internal unrest as he debates on his morals, mental, emotional and physical securities. These are universal issues that affect the man of then and the men and women of now who read his writing.

A humorous take from a certain angle is the dissertation on how to pick up dates from any walk of life, while walking along any path in life. If you need to pick up some good advice on dating, courtship, romance and love, this book is very helpful.

There are many character portraits of the different female personality types and pointers on how to deal with them.

Although it is un-intended, this book plays upon the various themes of Black.

1) The black characters reflect little or no light upon the rationales of their actions. They are so black.
2) The characters are soiled black from their actions and reactions to their environment.
3) Some evil and wicked actions are black deeds.
4) The protagonist has gloomy black thoughts about his girlfriends.
5) There is presence of grimly satiric, black humor when the protagonist pokes fun at himself.
6) Sometimes, the protagonist is frustrated and enraged and gives black looks to his girlfriend.
7) When the protagonist quarrels with a girlfriend, he experiences a black day of mental and emotional disaster.

This is also a book on the heritage of Blacks, their mentality, culture and sexual orientation from the viewpoint of a white man who is often obsessed by the sexuality of the black women.
Even without the color Black, many of the scenarios are applicable in our multi-cultured society.

This series of books are named The Tropic Of Detroit because they show how a struggling writer is affected by specified stimuli, namely, his city, Detroit.

I greatly enjoyed reading the first two volumes in this trilogy and can’t wait to get started on the third and final closure to the Tropics Of Detroit.

Henry Miller is the forefather of modern American erotic writings. He writes explicitly about transcending the traditional norms and accepting eroticism as the bread and butter of avant garde literature. Beaumier has been compared to Miller for his raw, worded visualizations of sexual participation. Beaumier’s works hug the borderline of legal literary pornography.

This book is on erotic literature without a fixed plot. This realistic journal records an important period and phase in the life of a writer. This is about the time when many women form the shaping forces in the life of a writer. Hence it emulates and is entitled after its namesake, Henry Miller’s The Tropic Of Cancer.

Some techniques of successful writing are explained within this semi fictional autobiographical tome.

This is an excellent book of erotic writing.
