The Black Flamingo

2020

by Dean Atta

The Black Flamingo is a powerful coming-of-age story about a boy discovering his identity. Michael is a mixed-race gay teen growing up in London, navigating what it means to be Greek-Cypriot and Jamaican, but never quite feeling Greek or Black enough.

As he gets older, Michael's journey of self-discovery begins with his coming out. This journey reaches new heights when he joins the Drag Society at university, where he truly finds where he belongs, and The Black Flamingo is born.

This bold and lyrical debut explores the layers of identity that make us who we are and how embracing our uniqueness allows us to shine. Sometimes, we need to take charge, stand up wearing pink feathers, and show ourselves to the world in bold color.
