Few writers can authenticate the shift between the erudite and the sounds of the street corner like Stephens can. On the turn of a few pages in ROCKSTAR, STUD, GIGOLO, Stephens goes from footnoting "diasporic" as "throughout this whole motherf@cker" to using a quote by Jean-Jacques Rousseau for the preface to "Stud", one of the eponymous stories in the collection. Raw, real, dreadlocked and dangerous, Dr. Torrance Stephens should be standard reading for anyone wanting to learn more about the often side-stepped truths in modern American society.
