Reuniones Fallidas

Resumen del libro

The first chapter is a historical and cultural introduction to the Latin American revolutionary left, giving special attention to its views about sexuality. In the second chapter, I consider Manuel Puigs El beso de la mujer arana, which has a foundational value within the series because it is the first novel to articulate the historical debate between homosexuality and the revolutionary left. I also analyze La mas maravillosa musica (una historia de amor peronista), by Osvaldo Bazan, where the question about a possible alliance between homosexuality and the political left is revisited. In the third chapter, I study a series of texts where the different representations of homosexuality are governed by rigid sexual and gender politics. I include Nivaldo e Jeronimo by Darcy Penteado, El sol de la tarde, by Luis Gonzalez de Alba, and Entre la resignacion y el paraiso. Desnudos en la alberca, by Hugo Villalobos. The last chapter examines the novel Stella Manhattan by Silviano Santiago, to investigate how different homosexual subjectivities complicate and reevaluate the problem outlined by Puig.
