Manrique celebrates the lives of these heroic writers who were made outcasts for both their homosexuality and their politics.  \"Manriques double vision yields insights into Puig  Arenas  and Lorca unavailable to a writer less attuned to the complex interplay of culture and sexuality  as well as that of race and class in Latino and Anglo societies.\"George DeStefano  The Nation  \"A splendid memoir of Manuel Puig. It evokes himhow he really wasbetter than anything Ive read.\"Susan Sontag  \"Where Manriques tale differs from others is in its unabashed and sensitive treatment of sexuality. One reads his autobiographical account with pleasure and fascination.\"Jose Quiroga  George Washington University  \"Manriques voice is wise  brave  and wholly original. This chronicle of self-discovery and literary encounters is heartening and deep.\"Kennedy Fraser  \"In this charmingly indiscreet memoir  Jaime Manrique writes with his customary humor and warm sympathy  engaging our delighted interest on every page. He has the rare gift of invoking and inviting intimacy  in this case a triangulated intimacy between himself  his readers  and his memories. These are rich double portraits.\"Phillip Lopate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45273579323445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0299161803","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780299161804.jpg?v=1780490038","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/eminent-maricones-arenas-lorca-puig-and-me-living-out-gay-and-lesbian-autobiog-9780299161804","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
