This book is about valuing the sensations of loss and melancholy
and the longing to transform the painful into something meaningful,
the junky into something valuable. Drawing on a wide range of
material from art, theater, music, and literature in order to bring
something to the losses of history and culture, Contreras argues
that historical memory is embedded in these forms of art and can
perhaps take us "somewhere better than this place." The critical
energies in the book come from Chicana/o and queer studies.
Contreras views unrequited love as a utopian space of possibility
and transformation. The discussion includes "The Boys in the Band,"
Arturo Islas, "Paris is Burning," Judy Garland, and" Kiss of the
Spider Woman."
