Juana Maria Rodriguez

This is an eloquent, erudite treatment of all the ways queer people have been pathologized, and all the different ways we have survived the fire, even when surviving means retreating into our own invented worlds. A book about friendship and madness, sexuality and history, it places the intimate contours of an intergenerational relationship between two Puerto Rican men against the historical backdrop of the world of early 20th century sexology.
