El Ambiente Nuestro

Résumé du livre

In El ambiente nuestro, David William Foster examines in unprecedented depth homoerotic issues in the work of selected Latino writers and performance artists. He explores the important body of writing on these issues that began with John Rechy's founding texts of Chicano narrative and continues with more recent works such as Jaime Manrique's Eminent Maricones. Rather than being a historical survey of Latino homoerotic writing, this book focuses on key texts in queer Latino literary tradition and foregrounds Chicano writers in particular. Included are poet Francisco Alarcon, essayists Jaime Manrique and Richard Rodriguez, fiction writers Michael Nava and John Rechy, playwright Guillermo Reyes, and performance artists Luis Alfaro and John Leguizamo.
