Rigoberto Gonzalez, author of the critically acclaimed memoir
Butterfly Boy: Memories of a Chicano Mariposa, takes a second
piercing look at his past through a startling new lens: hunger. The
need for sustenance originating in childhood poverty, the
adolescent emotional need for solace and comfort, the adult desire
for a larger world, another lover, a different body-all are
explored by Gonzalez in a series of heartbreaking and poetic
vignettes. Each vignette is a defining moment of self-awareness,
every moment an important step in a lifelong journey toward
clarity, knowledge, and the nourishment that comes in various
forms-even ""the smallest biggest joys"" help piece together a
complex portrait of a gay man of colour who at last defines himself
by what he learns, not by what he yearns for.
