Description
In the tumultuous landscape of Argentina, a young gay man named Richard Garay grapples with loss and identity in the shadow of dictatorship and the burgeoning AIDS epidemic. As he navigates the complexities of his own life, Richard recounts his experiences with a deeply personal and compelling voice, revealing a world shaped by memory and association rather than strict chronology. This powerful novel explores themes of sex, death, and the search for self amidst profound societal and personal upheaval, set against the backdrop of the Falklands War. It is a moving testament to finding one's way into the world, even when confronted by immense challenges.
