"For the author to include his own experiences alongside those of two celebrated Latin American writers (Manuel Puig and Reinaldo Arenas) and one Spanish icon (Federico Garcfa Lorca) may sound like hubris, but it makes perfect sense within the structure of this slim but significant volume....He celebrates the 'courageous audacity' of these writers, 'who defy the definition of what a maricon is supposed to be,' and at the same time he sings himself. And does an honorable job of it." Publisher's noteOne of the leading Latino writers working today offers a provocative autobiography interweaving his own story with the lives of three other gay Hispanic authors: Manuel Puig, Reinaldo Arenas, and Federico Garcia Lorca. AnnotationIn six essays written over the course of eight years, Jaime Manrique examines his own life, and his work as a gay Latin American writer, in context with the lives and work of the writers Manuel Puig, Reinaldo Arenas, and Federico Garcfa Lorca. ("Maricon" is the Spanish word for "faggot.") If You Enjoy "Eminent Maricones (Hardcover)", May We Also Recommend:
