"Naked Eating Chinese Food"

There's nothing typical about Steve's second novel. "Naked Eating Chinese Food" is a hilarious look at Black men as they deal with college, women, career and themselves. No subject goes uncovered as Perry fearlessly delves into the complexities of chasing success with the burden of being the sane one in the family.

"The Window Pain"
The story twists and turns, beginning as Tarique grows out from under the yoke of domestic violence. While it moves through Tarique and Shandell’s coming of age, it clutches tightly to reality. Hindsight is injected to explain why Bria falls in love with Tarique, but it is too late to prepare us for the surprises that await us in every chapter. With one more masterful twist, it halts, leaving us wondering how we got there. Ultimately we see that a happy ending is one in which we have the opportunity to reflect upon our decisions, with the hopes that next time, things will be better.
