40th anniversary reprinting of a beloved fable-manifesto from the 1970s queer counterculture.
Larry Mitchell è stato un autore ed editore americano il cui lavoro ha esplorato principalmente le esperienze vissute dagli uomini gay. I suoi scritti, spesso ambientati a New York negli anni '70 e '80, hanno catturato acutamente le realtà sociali e personali dell'epoca. Mitchell è stato anche un pioniere della letteratura gay, co-fondando una delle prime piccole case editrici dedicate al genere. I suoi romanzi si sono distinti per il loro coraggio e approccio innovativo, con una delle sue opere riconosciuta come la prima opera di finzione ad affrontare l'HIV/AIDS.

Libro publicado originalmente por Calamus Books en 1977. Mezcla de fábula y manifiesto, el texto nos sitúa en Ramrod, un imperio en decadencia donde conoceremos a las diferentes comunidades de maricas, mujeres, reinas, hombres queer y mujeres que aman a otras mujeres, y sus modos de supervivencia frente a los hombres blancos y el mundo que han creado. Con una entusiasta acogida que dura ya más de cuatro décadas, este libro ofrece una crítica incisiva al capitalismo, la asimilación y el patriarcado que sigue siendo profundamente relevante hoy en día.Esta primera publicación en castellano se produce cuarenta y cuatro años después de la original en inglés y recuerda el potencial del texto en un momento crucial para las luchas contra la normatividad del género y los movimientos por la disidencia sexual. Esta edición cuenta con un prólogo de Jesús Alcaide, curador e investigador independiente, y Jonathan Snyder, profesor de estudios literarios y culturales, responsables también de la traducción.
