Reviews
"Alex Espinoza's extraordinary new novel unveils a complex world of men thwarting destiny, or getting yoked by it. In language as unsparing as the characters he depicts, The Sons of El Rey is about herculean endurance in the ring, on the streets, at work, in bed, everywhere . It's a rare look at the suffocations and thrills of toxic masculinity told with bravura, tenderness, and great beauty." --Cristina García, author of Vanishing Maps, "Before the glam drama of drag queens, there existed the flamboyant reign of kings like El Rey, an underdog transformed into a superhero. This is the story of a lucha libre dynasty that battles with ghosts and regrets, heroes and humiliations. It is as much the chronicle of a dying Mexican patriarch as it is about his gay grandson, both hiding behind stoic masks. Ultimately, it is a tale about that country called desire." -- Sandra Cisneros, award-winning and bestselling author of The House on Mango Street "Espinoza has written an epic and transporting novel that follows one family but tells the story of many. This braided epic brims with heart, intelligence, and humor. It's also sexy as hell. The lives of the Vega dynasty twist, turn, and ultimately interlock in a manner that expertly mirrors the grappling bodies of the luchadores depicted here." -- Alejandro Varela, National Book Award finalist and author of The Town of Babylon, "From rural Mexico to Ajusco, the outskirts of Mexico City to Los Angeles, their stories unfold in surprising ways." -- BOOKLIST, "Full of powerful unfolding revelations, The Sons of El Rey has claimed its title as the great American lucha libre novel." --CAROLYN KELLOGG, Pittsburgh-Post Gazette "The seamlessly interwoven story lines bring each character to vivid life, and Espinoza shines in the lucha libre scenes... This is a knockout." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Tender and revelatory... Espinoza's prose hits with raw emotional power." --SHELF AWARENESS, "Alex Espinoza's extraordinary new novel unveils a complex world of men thwarting destiny, or getting yoked by it. In language as unsparing as the characters he depicts, The Sons of El Rey is about herculean endurance in the ring, on the streets, at work, in bed, everywhere . It's a rare look at the suffocations and thrills of toxic masculinity told with bravura, tenderness, and great beauty." --Cristina García, National Book Award finalist and author of Dreaming in Cuban and Vanishing Maps, "With shocks of truth and tenderness on every page, The Sons of El Rey is a masterful exploration of a family reckoning with its most sacred secrets. Mesmerizing and unflinching, Espinoza's luchadores will wrestle their way deep into your heart. An absolute knockout of a novel." --Patricia Engel, New York Times bestselling author of Infinite Country " The Sons of El Rey pinned me to the mat with its compelling and moving tale of a multigenerational luchador dynasty. Espinoza delivers a deceptively profound unmasking of the human heart." --Antoine Wilson, author of Mouth to Mouth, "One cannot help but be drawn into The Sons of El Rey . Alex Espinoza has drawn rich, fascinating characters and offers a detailed picture of Mexico at a politically turbulent time and Los Angeles at key moments in its recent history. In his novel, lucha libre is not only a cultural phenomenon, it is also a powerful metaphor for masculine power as a mask covering complex feelings of inadequacy. Through the rich family saga he has created, Espinosa also explores various forms of male love: paternal, companionate, and erotic." -- NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS "Full of powerful unfolding revelations, The Sons of El Rey has claimed its title as the great American lucha libre novel." --CAROLYN KELLOGG, Pittsburgh-Post Gazette "The seamlessly interwoven story lines bring each character to vivid life, and Espinoza shines in the lucha libre scenes... This is a knockout." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Tender and revelatory... Espinoza's prose hits with raw emotional power." --SHELF AWARENESS, "A triumph that's gripping to the end! This moving tale set in the world of lucha libre unfolds across time, geography and gender, as voices both living and in the spirit world gather around the deathbed of Ernesto Vega, a luchador who fought under the name El Rey Coyote." --Janet Fitch, bestselling author of White Oleander and The Revolution of Marina M. "Alex Espinoza writes with singular grace, humor and deep empathy for his characters who journey between Mexico and California to make new lives, to ache for the past even while tasting the future on their tongues. In The Sons of El Rey , he's given us a powerful sweep of three generations of dreamers through the story of lucha libre as legend, historia and tradition. This family is unforgettable." --Susan Straight, National Book Award finalist and author of Mecca, "The seamlessly interwoven story lines bring each character to vivid life, and Espinoza shines in the lucha libre scenes... This is a knockout." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Tender and revelatory... Espinoza's prose hits with raw emotional power." --SHELF AWARENESS

Synopsis
"This is a knockout." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) One of the Today Show's Most Anticipated Books of 2024 - One of Time 's New Books to Read this Summer - One of the Los Angeles Times 's Books You Need to Read this Summer "A masterful exploration of a family reckoning with its most sacred secrets. Mesmerizing and unflinching, Espinoza's luchadores will wrestle their way deep into your heart." --Patricia Engel, New York Times bestselling author A timeless, epic novel about a family of luchadores contending with forbidden love and secrets in Mexico City, Los Angeles, and beyond. Ernesto Vega has lived many lives, from pig farmer to construction worker to famed luchador El Rey Coyote, yet he has always worn a mask. He was discovered by a local lucha libre trainer at a time when luchadores--Mexican wrestlers donning flamboyant masks and capes--were treated as daredevils or rock stars. Ernesto found fame, rapidly gaining name rec-ognition across Mexico, but at great expense, nearly costing him his marriage to his wife Elena. Years later, in East Los Angeles, his son, Freddy Vega, is struggling to save his father's gym while Freddy's own son, Julian, is searching for professional and romantic fulfillment as a Mexican American gay man refusing to be defined by stereotypes. With alternating perspectives, Ernesto and Elena take you from the ranches of Michoacán to the makeshift colonias of Mexico City. Freddy describes life in the suburban streets of 1980s Los Angeles and the community their family built, as Julian descends deep into our present-day culture of hook-up apps, lucha burlesque shows, and the dark underbelly of West Hollywood. The Sons of El Rey is an intimate portrait of a family wading against time and legacy, yet always choosing the fight., "This is a knockout." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) One of the Today Show's Most Anticipated Books of 2024 * One of Time 's New Books to Read this Summer * One of the Los Angeles Times 's Books You Need to Read this Summer "A masterful exploration of a family reckoning with its most sacred secrets.
