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 color who at last defines himself by what he learns, not by what he yearns for."Living out.Authors, American20th centuryBiographyHispanic American gay menBiographyMexican American gay menBiographyGay menBiographyAuthors, AmericanHispanic American gay menMexican American gay menGay men813/.54González Rigoberto1109695MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910658790003321Autobiography of my hungers2670946UNINA
