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. 606 $aMexican American gays$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01018983 606 $aFamilies$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01728849 606 $aAuthors, American$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00821764 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xEthnic Studies$xHispanic American Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY$xPersonal Memoirs$2bisacsh 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY$xLGBT$2bisacsh 606 $aHomosexuels americains d'origine mexicaine$vBiographies 606 $aE?crivains americains$y20e siecle$vBiographies 606 $aMexican American gay men$vBiography 606 $aAuthors, American$y20th century$vBiography 608 $aAutobiographies. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aAutobiographies. 608 $aBiography 615 7$aMexican American gays. 615 7$aFamilies. 615 7$aAuthors, American. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xEthnic Studies$xHispanic American Studies. 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY$xPersonal Memoirs. 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY$xLGBT. 615 6$aHomosexuels americains d'origine mexicaine 615 6$aE?crivains americains 615 0$aMexican American gay men 615 0$aAuthors, American 676 $a813/.54 676 $aB 700 $aGonza?lez$b Rigoberto$01109695 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735592403321 996 $aWhat Drowns the Flowers in Your Mouth$93513211 997 $aUNINA
