the long version

A beautiful collection of thirteen short stories, twenty-nine poems, a memoir and two novel excerpts from gay writers from Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, all expertly translated into English. Originally written in the mid-1970s, this is a fascinating glimpse into Latin American gay society of the time. An added bonus is that the poems are presented in the original Spanish and Portuguese with the English translations printed on the opposite page. Authors included are Salvador Novo, Luis Cernuda, Adolfo Caminha, Gasparino Damata, Caio Fernando Abreu, Aguinaldo Silva, Darcy Penteado, Edilberto Coutinho and Jaime Jaramillo Escobar.
