AUTHOR BIO
Credit-Matthew Jordan Smith
E. Lynn Harris was born in Flint, Michigan and raised, along with three sisters, in Little Rock, Arkansas. He attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where he was the school’s first black yearbook editor, the first black male Razorbacks cheerleader, and the president of his fraternity. He graduated with honors with a degree in journalism.
Harris sold computers for IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and AT&T for thirteen years while living in Dallas, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. In 1991, he quit his sales job to write his first novel, Invisible Life, which,  failing to find a publisher, he self-published and sold mostly at black-owned bookstores, beauty salons, and book clubs before he was “discovered” by Anchor Books. Anchor published Invisible Life as a trade paperback in 1994, and E. Lynn Harris’s career as an author officially began.
Harris went on to become a ten-time New York Times bestselling author. His work included the memoir What Becomes of the Brokenhearted and the novels, A Love of My Own, Just as I Am, Any Way the Wind Blows (all three of which were named Novel of the Year by the Blackboard African American Bestsellers), I Say a Little Prayer, If This World Were Mine (which won the James Baldwin Award for Literary Excellence), the classic Invisible Life, Just Too Good to Be True, and Basketball Jones.
Harris was a member of the Board of Directors of the Hurston/Wright Foundation and the Evidence Dance Company. He was also the founder of the E. Lynn Harris Better Days Foundation, a nonprofit company that provides support to aspiring writers and artists.
E. Lynn Harris passed away at the age of 54 in 2009, just months before the publication of his final novel, Mama Dearest. Visit his website at http://www.elynnharris.com.
MEMORIES & REFLECTIONS
Nothing could have prepared me for this. I guess so many folks are leaving here so fast that you never know what’s going to happen next. But I was surprised when my favorite author died. E. Lynn Harris was a great writer and a very nice and informative person.
I started reading his work when my past supervisor, Johnnie Penelton brought Invisible Life to the office. She said this book was really good. It was the catalyst to starting our first book club, Circle of Friends. Since that day, I have read all his books except, Basketball Jones, which I just recently purchased.
I met E. Lynn on August 13, 1997. Wow that was a long time ago. Some of the members of our book club went to meet him at a book store in St. Louis. It was the first signing I had ever attended. I was like a smiling kid meeting a superstar. I aspired to write a book and he encouraged me to do so. He even answered questions and told me to email him if I needed more help. I never did. I just thought he was a kind author with this magnetic smile.
As I sit here and think about him dying, I wonder how we are going to make it without his bold and brazen characters. To me, he was the trailblazer that inspired many of the authors out here to self publish and sell books from our trunks. I’m glad that I had an opportunity to meet such an inspiring writer and person. Rest in Peace my favorite author.

“I was shocked and saddened to hear of his death. I never got a chance to meet him in person. As a fan of his work, it excited me that with his busy schedule, he took the time to respond to my emails. He will be missed in the literary community and by his fans.” ~ Shelia M Goss, author of His Invisible Wife and My Invisible Husband

Never before had I thought to read a novel that included same sex relationships, until I read the awesome and talented E. Lynn Harris. His awesome characters, particularly that Basil Henderson, came alive. I fell in love with his alpha male strength that swoon many, including me. He seemed to leap from the pages to my “real life”. Not to mention, the character Yancy. What a tremendous character she was. I’ve read his books and felt each character’s intimate struggles. In fact, he along with Maya Angelou and Danielle Steele set the tone to my literary muse. I will forever be a dear E. Lynn Harris fan.

RAWSISTAZ BOOK REVIEWS
We have reviewed quite a few of E. Lynn Harris’ titles, so stop through for our E LYNN HARRIS BOOKS – IN REVIEW feature.
INTERVIEW W/E. LYNN HARRIS & 3 CHICKS ON LIT (March 2009)
*Special Guest Host Tee C. Royal
Now, it’s your time! Share your favorite E. Lynn Harris book, your favorite character and more!
Okay folks, I’ll get things kicked off with saying WELCOME! Many of our members have been fans of E. Lynn Harris since his first book came out, so his death was a shock and pretty hard for many of us. But, we must all acknowledge the wonderful impact his work had on the literary world in general. I remember when I first met him at a book signing in 2001 (or 2002) and it was one of the first book signings I had attended, but I recall how open & friendly he was with his fans. And, unfortunately, I couldn’t dig up the picture, but I’m going to keep looking.
I’ll be in and out throughout the day sharing more reflections & posting questions, but I know my favorite character of all his books was Basil. Many watched him grow in the various books and came to “know” him almost like they would a friend or maybe a celebrity in the spotlight.
So, join me in celebrating E. LYNN HARRIS DAY! And make sure you pick up your copy of the book this week!!
-Tee
man I don’t really know what to say. I hate when anyone dies but I really hate when it’s Icons go way too fast. I only read two of his books and enjoyed them both but Like i tell everybody you may not agree with what he wrote about but it was so well written you couldn’t put it down. I pray that God bless his soul
I still find is so hard to believe that the man that I have looked up to for so long is gone. E. Lynn Harris by far has been one of the biggest inspirations in my life and career. If it wasn’t for his works I might not be an author today. I still remember getting the news like it was yesterday. I was getting off a plane in Detroit. As soon as I turned my cell phone off I had five voice mails. I began to listen and was hit with the news. I just started to cry in my seat. That night was one of the hardest book events I’ve done.
I was fortunate to meet my idol twice. I was able to tell him how much of an inspiration he has been to this young lesbian author. I am lucky enough to have my pictures taken of and with him as memories, along with my signed copies of his works. Even looking at the picture we took together I find it so hard to believe he is really gone.
As far as favorite characters, I would have to say crazy Yancy.
E. Lynn Harris will forever be in my heart and will always be missed.
Skyy, definitely share your picture and I’ll add it to this page. Just email me directly.
And be sure to pick up MAMA DEAREST if you haven’t already. Yancey is doing her thing in the prologue and it’s a trip!
-Tee
If this World were Mine was the book that made me an E Lynn Harris fan for life. I’ve read all of his books and received Mama Dearest yesterday. I ordered it through my library because I wasn’t taking any chances on not getting a copy.
I was excited to be meeting him at a local university in March but was told a few weeks before that his visit was cancelled.
Imagine the anger I felt when told later that he came and was so wonderful. There was no publicity or advertisement.
I was upset but thought I’d just meet him in Atlanta in August…..never thought he’d be gone.
He will continue to live through his books, but he’ll be missed.
Thanks Tee for this tribute to a wonderful person and author.
I’m so sorry you were never able to meet him, Kim, but glad you’ve had the opportunity to read his books. I’m sure your library will have to order more copies of MAMA DEAREST to keep up with the demand.
-Tee
Thanks Tee for this online tribute to E. Lynn Harris on RAWSISTAZ. I have read just about all of his books and have enjoyed all of them. I’m looking forward to reading Mama Dearest!!!
RIP E. Lynn Harris….you’ll be greatly missed!!!!!!!!!
I was totally shocked to learn that E. Lynn Harris had died. I feel we have lost a great giant in the literary community. Before reading any of his books, I would never have read about same sex relationships or even discuss them, but his books made for great discussions and some mind-blowing revelations. In his works, he brought a better understanding of the struggles we all face in any relationship and some characters that were just unforgettable. All of his books I’ve collected over the years are just that more precious to me. E. Lynn Harris will be missed.
I agree, Brenda! And, you’ve reviewed quite a few of his books for RAWSISTAZ too. I’ll have a post up in a bit which showcases all his books and some of our reviews.
Who is your favorite E. Lynn Harris character?
-Tee
Tee,
One of my favorite characters was Raymond from his very first book. I also liked Basil and Yancy too. But, Raymond is my favorite out of all his books.
As I reflect on his books, Just Too Good to Be True, threw me for a loop because it was not the “down low” type of story I was expecting from Harris. But it was just as thrilling and I felt he was on the cusp of capturing a whole different audience. That is, if there was a difference, because if his other fans are like me, it didn’t matter what he wrote, it was going to be awesome.
-Brenda
Basil is my favorite. I’ve always felt that he was a man looking for love in all the wrong places…just touched my heart….I guess.
WOW. I really can’t find the words to express what I really want to say. E. Lynn opened my mind/world to some things that were strictly taboo to me. I thank him for that. I really thank him for being him despite what society has to say. I have read all his books and enjoyed them all. E. Lynn will be greatly missed…love ya Lynn.
I was saddened to hear about E. Lynn Harris passing. He was a gifted writer who wrote about some controversial topics, that were excellent reads. I truly remember this one character that was something else. This character is in alot of his earlier books. Basil had you laughing and wanting to hurt him at times. Basil was a hot mess, but I enjoyed reading about him.
I’m still shocked that E. Lynn is no longer here. I remember meeting him when he came to my college and it was an amazing experience. He was such a kind hearted person with the warmest spirit around him. My favorite book by him is What Becomes of the Brokenhearted. I read it often and still get inspired by his words. He will truly be missed.
Words cannot express the immense shock, sorrow, emptiness, and pain I felt upon learning of E. Lynn Harris’ death. He was truly a literary icon, who unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to meet. However, I respected and will continue to respect the impact he made in the literary community. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten. RIP E. Lynn.
And I would like to thank the literary diva Tee C. Royal for giving us this opportunity to reflect on his contributions and rejoice in his life.
It’s hard to believe I first read Invisible Life 15 years ago. It’s harder to believe the man who wrote it is gone. My chance to meet E. Lynn Harris has passed, but I always felt a special connection with him. More like a mother protecting her child, hoping he will be accepted by the other children. Well Mr. Harris surpassed that. He became an icon, an inspiration, a man the world loved.
My heart goes out to his family and friends, his countless fans and for those who have yet to read his works.
Thanks Tee.
Kim Perdue-Sims
I could not believe that E. Lynn had passed and wished it weren’t true. I feel like I have known him for about ten years lol- that is how long I have been reading his work. I would get so that I couldn’t wait for the next book to come out.
I am missing him and will support making his last two books number 1′s best – sellers… God bless and thanks Tee C and Rawsistaz for allowing us to come here and drop a line of our love for E. Lynn…
God bless,
Lacha’
I appreciate you all stopping by and sharing your thoughts. While his death is a sad situation, we can also have some happy discussions about his books, too. So, we know everyone loves to hate Yancey and Ava…whew…that’s one Mama no one should be stuck with.
If you could cast any of the characters in any of E. Lynn Harris’ books, who would you cast? (Be sure to include the book & character name). Also, if the actor has played in something else, let us know.
Honestly, I could see Angela Bassett work the Ava role! What say you?
-Tee
The book would be If This World Were Mine.
Everyone knows Leon as Russell in “Waiting to Exhale”. I’d like to have Leon cast as Basil.
Sanaa Lathan is Robin in “The Best Man” she could be cast as Yolanda.
Shemar Moore plays Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds. He could be cast as Leland.
Morris Chestnut is Lance in “The Best Man” and he could be cast as Dwight.
I’d definitely pay to see the movie…
The death of E.Lynn Harris is still as unbelievable as Michael Jackson’s, for me.
From his very first book I just fell in love with his style of writing.
And believe me when I say I was not keen on reading anything with men engaging in sexual contact. But he wrote it in such a way that I was not offended.
I will miss him.
I still remember the first time I met E. Lynn. It was at a Chicago Black Expo and this was years before I was ever in (or even thought of being in) publishing. I was browsing the books section and E. Lynn was there signing INVISIBLE LIFE. So i went up to him and asked him what his book was about — and he said “Do you like love stores?” and I said yes and he said “well this is a love story with a twist.” So I bought it and a couple of days later when i was on the plane flying back to NYC i started reading….my mouth agape! and thought back to what E. Lynn told me and thought to myself of yeah this is a tweist alright. Of Course I proceeded to finish INVISIBLE LIFE later that day and became instantly hooked ever since. R.I.P

Thanks Tee for such a beautiful online tribute. E. Lynn was indeed one of the best authors of our time.
As far as movies, I think James Lesure would be awesome as the character Basil. It doesn’t matter which book, he just has that sexiness I think Basil has.
Needless to say he is my all time favorite E. Lynn character.
To say I was shocked to know that E.Lynn Harris passed was a true understatement. I was on Facebook the previous Sunday talking about Frank McCourt’s passing(Angela’s Ashes) and I figured that no one else on there would say anything about that since he was Irish American. Well, I was surprised that E.Lynn Harris got on there and said something and it made me glad that someone else besides me remembered this man’s passing. So imagine my immense shock when I go online but five days later and read that E.Lynn had died. couldn’t believe it. It was like a piece of me wanted to disbelieve it; I already was in shock and getting over Michael Jackson’s passing, but to see it on Essence.com in black and white just confirmed it for me. I couldn’t believe it because he got on Facebook the past Sunday and spoke on how he and Frank McCourt met and all. Oh, I was so sad that day. You see, in my opinion, I feel deep down that God put him and J.L.King out there to let us women know about the gay and alternative lifestyles. And to think that this man considered killing himself? oh, God always know best. I got to meet him last year when he came to Mobile to promote Too Good To Be True. The store was PACKED, and not just with African Americans, but whites as well, and a great time was had by all there. E.Lynn’s books have been an eyeopener for me. once you get into them, they keep you occupied to the end and I for one am sad to know he is gone. He was a great storyteller. May he rest in peace.
I have been an E Lynn Harris fan since I purchased his first book directly from him in ATL many many years ago. Each time I had a chance to see him I went. One of my fondest memories is when I got up and drove to Augusta, GA. to see E Lynn and Marcus Major. (I need to find my pictures) The lady sitting at the table with me was going on and on about how handsome he was etc. etc. I said Mr. Harris is gay, I was called a lie. A few minutes later when E Lynn got up to speak, the first word out of his mouth were, “yes, I am a gay man.” The lady sitting next to me fainted. E Lynn said I never had that affect on any one before. It was priceless.
I am going to Orange Park this evening at 7PM to the booksigning for E Lynn.
I am happy to say I will be the proud ower of all of his books. I will tell you about the signing when I return.
I wanted to stop by and talk about how I grew into loving E. Lynn Harris’ books and characters.
Growing up in a very “religious” environment initially prevented me from accepting the lifestyle E. Lynn talked about in his books, so for many years I refused to read them. One day…I thought….let me just read for myself. I started with “This Too Shall Pass” . Needless to say when I finished I went back to the bookstore and started from the beginning. From that day to this I have been an E. Lynn Harris fan. His style of storytelling created mental images in my head that connected me with the story and the characters. I liked that every now and then I could pick up an E. Lynn book and find my favorite character, Basil Henderson….that dude right there…triple hot mess!!
What I will say about E. Lynn is that he understood his reading audience and somewhere along the way learned how to development himself not only as an author, but as a brand.
You don’t need to know the title of the latest E. Lynn Harris book, you can walk into the bookstore and ask, “May I have the latest E. Lynn Harris book please.” and the will know exactly what you are talking about.
What book should be a movie? Any of them!
He will certainly leave a void in the literary world…and I wonder if he is taking Basil with him…
@Toni…”The lady sitting at the table with me was going on and on about how handsome he was etc. etc. I said Mr. Harris is gay, I was called a lie. A few minutes later when E Lynn got up to speak, the first word out of his mouth were, “yes, I am a gay man.†The lady sitting next to me fainted. E Lynn said I never had that affect on any one before. It was priceless”….ROFL!!!!!!!!!
My favorite character is Basil and I think Keith Charles would be a good candidate to play him in a movie.
Thank you, Tee and Rawsistaz for the wonderful article on E. Lynn Harris. It is just amazing how many literary works of art he has under his belt. I’ll be out and about tonight and will definately pick up or reserve his newest novel at my local bookstore!
I met E. Lynn back in 1992 at a Delta convention on St. Louis. He was selling his book Invisble Life. He asked me to buy it & if I didn’t like it to bring it back before the convention was over & he would give me my money back. I went to the room (to prove him wrong so I could get my $ back) but missed the evening event because I was so engrossed in the story. The next day I took 10 sorors with to buy copies. He laughed saying he knew I would live it. I’ve been a fan of his ever since. I can’t wait to read his last work. He was a author that shared his heart & knowledge with the world. We need more of that.
ROFL…too funny! You were gonna get that money back, huh sis?
-Tee
This Too Shall Pass was also my first E. Lynn book. I didn’t even care what the subject matter was, the book was just so good that I had to check out what else he had. I remember going to the library to get the rest of the books, making sure I read them in order, and once I was finally caught up I was impatiently waiting for the next one.
Oh! I also think A Love of My Own would make a good movie. Can’t think of any cast members though.
For those able to listen to the interview, did you catch that Mama Dearest was also titled Blame it on the Sun? And for those who haven’t read the description it is basically about three generations of women starting with favorite characters Ava & Yancey, and then the new addition. Say what? Gotta read the book to find out more!
-Tee
Going right to the bookstore…not ordering online, going to take too long!
Getting my copy of Mama Dearest, this weekend.
Getting mine from the bookstore too. Online takes too long.
-Brenda
I think most of his book would be great movies.
I always thought Denzel would be a perfect Raymond Tyler Jr.
Janice,
I agree with you. I would love to see his books made into movies. I agree with you that Denzel would be perfect for the part of Raymond.
-Brenda
I wish I could really write about his loss, but for some reason I haven’t been able to sit down and do it. Death does that to me. We loss a great one. I actually have all of his books and as soon as I got Mama Dearest I just hugged it to my chest. It made me happy and sad at the same time. I met him twice. I have pictures to prove it. The last time I actually talked to him briefly at NBCC, who knew that would be my last time meeting him? He is missed…
What a wonderful way to pay tribute!! It was a trip listening to the archived interview of E. Lynn Harris.
May he RIP~
Be Blessed, bbj
Thanks Tee for this wonderful tribute. I remember for the longest time that I wouldn’t read any E. Lynn Harris books due to the subject matter. People kept telling me to give his books a try. So, I got Invisiable Life from the library about 10yrs ago and was immediately hooked. I then went back to the library and got all of his books so that I could be current when the newest one came out. I’ve purchased or read every one of his books since then. I had the pleasure of meeting him twice in person. The first time was in 2002 and my hubby and I drove to Chicago which should have been a 2 hour drive but it ended up taking longer due to traffic and finding the auditorium where E.Lynn was. The 2nd time I met him here in Milwaukee which was back in 2005 think. Finally, I did an audio interview with him for my website in July 2008. What a humble and nice man. I’m so glad I got a chance to do that interview and meet him in person. And he really wanted to know and cared about what I thought about Just Too Good To Be True and how nervous he was about writing that book. I have a picture with him too.
I was shocked when I heard of E. Lynn Harris’ passing as well as others. I was a big fan and since I live in Little Rock, we were blessed to have him here as one of his stops on his book tour. Whenever E. Lynn was in Little Rock, you had to get out early in order to purchase your book and get it signed in the time slot allotted because the line spilled outside the bookstore a lot of the time. He was so personable. I remember asking him at one of the book signings, what was next. He said, “Honey, please let me take a vacation.” And following that, he published two books shortly thereafter. He was a joy and will be missed. I gotta go. I got my copy of Mama Dearest day before yesterday and I have to delve in.
I always enjoyed E. Lynn’s books–and was surprisingly pleased to see how he worked Basil into Basketball Jones. That book was definitely one of his best. He will surely be missed.
Wow, reading these comments I’ve been enlightened to know more about E. Lynn Harris- the man and the author. May he rest in peace, always!!!
Jaime L. Lincoln
I would never forget when I lived in Atlanta and my girlfriend was telling me about this author and she was going to Greenbrier Mall to have a book signed, I had never heard of E. Lynn and he was signing “Invisible Life” I stood in the line with her to get the book and I was reading and I was like OMG is this what I am waiting for to be signed but I said okay and bought it and had signed and after that I could not put it down and I became a E. Lynn fan…….The most remarkable thing after this was moving to Ca and being in the breakroom of my job reading “What Becomes Of A Brokenheart” an the V.P.of my company passed by and came back and said you read E Lynn and I said yes and I got this crazy look he was asking about the book said he was gonna buy it and could he borrow it and I was like yeah…he actually called me to his office a week later and said he was going on a trip and could he take my book I was like I had just finished and let him read it he said he had read all of E Lynn’s books and was a fan, after that he was always saying hello to me and all I was like so surprised.
He will be missed. I will be buying Mama Dearest this weekend.
I still cannot believe that E. Lynn Harris is gone. I am a big fan of his work and have read everything he has ever published. He was a shining light in our literary community and will be sorely missed. What I liked most about him was the fact that he dared tio expose a world that so many people disdain. He was always honest about who and what he was and that shone through in his writing. I also like the fact that he shared so much about the gay lifestyle pre AIDA and HIV and let readers understand what he saw. I appreciate his willingness to give back. I remember how he took time out of his busy days to communicate with me when I was a new author. He shared some tips and industry tidbits with me that I will never forget. His signings and readings were awesome and made me want to aspire to write as well as he did. I was unable to attend his NYC tribute, but I do have the book. It just arrived today right on time for the tribute. So I will be going to bed with a great book tonight! This is the book I’ve been waiting for! May he forever rest in peace. I will surely miss him!
This is beautiful Tee, thanks for doing such a wonderful tribute to an author who was definately THE BOMB. I have read all of his books and was looking forward to more of Raymond and Basil.
I would love to see Michael White play Basil. He has the build for it. Also, I think Angela Bassett would do a banging job as the mother as well.
I am looking forward to reading his newest release.
Tee, this is truly a good thing you are doing. I never met Lynn either, but several of my friends were friends of his and shared his gifts with me. There was a wonderful tribute to him last night at the African American Literary Award Show and we were all touched.
I just returned from one of the many E. Lynn Harris readings, I have in my hot litte hands my copy of Mama Dearest. This reading was not well attended about 25 to 30 people. The author scheduled to do the reading was a no-show. However newley self-published author Vera Jones who is from Jacksonville, FL steped in and did a marvelous job.
Her connection to E Lynn was their love for basketball, Ms Jones is a former college basketball coach, and Commenator for the Big Ten Network.
Check out her book Play Through The Foul: Basketball Lessons for the Game of Life.
I wanted to get my book today but time slipped right by me. I will pick up Mama Dearest tomorrow and hope to read it this weekend.
I am still a bit in shock I remember being on facebook when I first read the message and thinking this must be a mistake didn’t I just read an article about his new book just yesterday isn’t he on tour. He’s not sick this has to be a rumor gone mad. But I clicked the article and though the details are little it was real and I was blown away. It felt like a lost an icon. Then I began to read the stories of the people he touched and I felt like we lost a literary light. He will be missed by all.
As with Michael Jackson, I was so shocked to hear this news. I have read everything that he has published (I think). My favorite character was definately Basil but I loved loved loved Raymond. I know his subject was controversal and groundbraking. (and James Baldwin was probably a big influence on him). We were so blessed to have him. I will be purchasing Mama Dearest. I am so looking forward to Yancy and her crazy Mother.
I enjoyed the reading that EJD linked to his facebook page of MAMA DEAREST. It was a really moving tribute. He and another author read and then E Lynn’s mom and sister spoke. I wish the whole thing had been available to see, but the readings alone got me ready for this book. I own each of his book and it is still hard to believe that this is my last peak into his work. He made a great impact in the literary world and will be missed.
I remember EJD being one of the first African-American authors that I absolutely fell in love with. His stories drew you in and made you feel like you weren’t just reading a book, you felt like you were listening to a friend tell a really juicy story. He connected with his readers in such a natural way that, even though I never got a chance to meet him, I feel like I did! He is and will always be truly missed! May he rest in peace and may he never be forgotten!
I have a list of writers I want to meet and because of SORMAG I’ve had the chance to meet them. E Lynn was one on the top of the list, but it was hard to get an interview with him. I heard he was coming to St. Louis, so I prayed I got a chance to slip my business card to him.
He gave a wonderful presentation and I stood in line for about 45 minutes to get my book autographed. They kept telling him his time was up, but he said he had to sign all the books. He signed my book, took a picture with me and took another picture with the model he brought along to promote his calendar. I told him about SORMAG and he wrote his number down so I could call and get an interivew.
E. Lynn was so down to earth he was like talking to an old friend instead of an interview. I’m so glad I had a chance to meet him and I’m glad he has his books to carry on his legacy.
Tee thanks for doing this. It was nice reading about how he touched others lives.
I absolutely loved all of his books and look forward to reading the latest, “Mama Dearest”. I am sure it will be another page turner that I won’t be able to put down.
