If bridge builders connect people, then E. Lynn Harris most definitely is a bridge builder.
When Keith Boykin interviewed E. Lynn Harris for Lambda Book Report in the fall of 1997, his total book sales were approaching a million copies. When Harris' first nonfiction work, his memoir, What Becomes of the Brokenhearted, was released in the summer of 2003 those numbers had climbed to over three million copies sold. The Lambda Literary Bridge Builder Award will be presented to Harris June 3 at the 16th Annual Lambda Literary Awards gala banquet at the Chicago Mart Plaza hotel in Chicago. Tickets are $125 for the dinner, $175 for the dinner and gala reception.
