THE BOOK OF LEONIDAS by Augusto Federico Amador

Lenny, Afro-Dominican, hustles loosies on a Queens street corner that his father once ruled over as legendary crime lord. Caring for his vindictive mother, he finds escapism working on his graphic novels until he stumbles into love with a pretty white girl, careening him to the predestination he no longer can avoid.
