Blackouts

Resumen del libro

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD: an intimate, emotionally rich novel, in which two men -young and old -reckon with queer histories and their place within them Juan Gay lies dying in a room in The Palace: a monumental, fading institution in the desert. There, a young man cares for him - someone whom Juan met only once, but who has haunted the edges of his life ever since. As the end approaches, the two trade stories - resurrecting lost loves, mothers and fathers - and their lives are woven, ineluctably, into a broader story of sexuality, pathology and oppression.
