As brothers Rigoberto and Alex grow to manhood, they are haunted by the traumas of their mother's early death, their lonely youth, their father's desertion, and their grandfather's invective. Rigoberto's success in escaping--first to college and then by becoming a writer--is blighted by his struggles with alcohol and abusive relationships, while Alex contends with difficult family relations, his own rocky marriage, and fatherhood. Descending into a dark emotional space that compromises their mental and physical health, the brothers eventually find hope in aiding each other"--Dust jacket flap.Mexican American gaysfast(OCoLC)fst01018983Familiesfast(OCoLC)fst01728849Authors, Americanfast(OCoLC)fst00821764SOCIAL SCIENCEEthnic StudiesHispanic American StudiesbisacshBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYPersonal MemoirsbisacshBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYLGBTbisacshHomosexuels americains d'origine mexicaineBiographiesÉcrivains americains20e siecleBiographiesMexican American gay menBiographyAuthors, American20th centuryBiographyAutobiographies.Biographies.Autobiographies.BiographyMexican American gays.Families.Authors, American.SOCIAL SCIENCEEthnic StudiesHispanic American Studies.BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYPersonal Memoirs.BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHYLGBT.Homosexuels americains d'origine mexicaineÉcrivains americainsMexican American gay menAuthors, American813/.54BGonzález Rigoberto1109695MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910735592403321What Drowns the Flowers in Your Mouth3513211UNINA
