"Wrenching, angry, passionate, ironic, and always eloquent about conflicts of family, class, and sexuality. The son and grandson of farmworkers, constantly moving between Mexico and the U.S., then and now, González weaves together three narrative threads: his angry present journey across the border with his estranged father; childhood memories of growing up a fat, bookish 'sissy-boy'; and his urgent longing for his sexy, abusive older lover. . . . An unforgettable story of leaving home today."- Booklist (Starred review) , "Wrenching, angry, passionate, ironic, and always eloquent about conflicts of family, class, and sexuality.

- i***y (66)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopI am rather unimpressed with the condition of the book I received. I understand I am buying secondhand, but the book is only shipped in a plastic bag and came with stickers and tape bearing the company name and apparent sorting information, which when removed, ripped the spine of the book. Seller was responsive however, and they do accept returns, which a lot of secondhand book sellers do not.
