Autobiography of My Hungers (Living Out: Gay and Lesbian Autobiog)

The Butterfly Boy Memories of a Chicano Mariposa is an unforgettable portrait of the artist as a young immigrant gay poet.

This book takes a piercing look at the author's past through a new lens: hunger.

The need for sustenance originating in childhood poverty, adolescent emotional needs for solace and comfort, adult desires for a larger world, another lover, a different body - all are explored in a series of heartbreaking and poetic vignettes.

With rare courage, raw honesty, and the uncommon beauty of a life spent yearning for consolation and hope, this book is an absolute must-read.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the powerful story of a life that routinely crosses borders of ethnic, socioeconomic, and sexual identities.
