From Macho to Mariposa (NYC) - La primera lectura

About the book... For the first time since 1999, when the ground-breaking anthologies Bsame Mucho and Virgins, Guerillas and Locas appeared, has a collection of gay Latino fiction in English been published. Prepare yourself to dance in a disco in Silver Lake, check out papis in Orchard Beach, cross the border from Guatemala to Mexico on your way to the U.S., see a puro macho bathe in a river in Puerto Rico, make love under a full moon in the Dominican Republic, sigh at a tender moment in an orange grove in Lindsay, visit a panadera in Kansas, see a full blown birthday party in Ciudad Jurez and be seduced by a young artist in the South Bronx. These are some of the stories in this collection of 29 gay Latino writers from around the United States.
