Sex as a Political Condition: A Border Novel is a raucous,
hilarious journey through political dangers that come in all
shapes, cup sizes, and sexual identities, a trip into the wild,
sometimes outrageous world of the Texas-Mexico border and all
geographical and anatomical points south. Honore del Castillo runs
the family curio shop in the backwater border town of Escandon,
Texas, and fears dying in front of his TV like some six-pack Jose
in his barrio. Encouraged by his friend Trotsky, he becomes
politically active-smuggling refugees, airlifting guns to Mexican
revolutionaries, negotiating with radical Chicana lesbians-but the
naked truths he faces are more often naked than true and constantly
threaten to unman him. When a convoy loaded with humanitarian aid
bound for Nicaragua pulls into Escandon, his journey to becoming a
true revolutionary hero begins, first on Escandon's international
bridge and then on the highways of Mexico. But not until both the
convoy and Honore's mortality and manhood are threatened in
Guatemala does he finally confront the complications of his love
for his wife and daughter, his political principles, the stench of
human fear, and ultimately what it means to be a principled man in
a screwed-up world.
