Reviews
"Rigoberto González is a writer who walks, with an elegant gait, the line between sorrow and laughter, anger and acceptance. His prose is shaped by the poetry of irony. And he is a master of it."-Richard Rodriguez, author ofBrown: The Last Discovery of America, "In this very personal and poignant autobiography, González narrates his coming-of-age and outing as a gay man amid the poverty, illiteracy, and abuse--but also love--of his family and community. Fast-moving and told in lucid, visually striking language, this autobiography is sure to make a place for itself."--Silvia D. Spitta, Dartmouth College, "A deeply-felt work that belongs in the company of classic American memoirs such as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, When I Was Puerto Rican, and Hunger of Memory . Where it differs most memorably from those books is in its uncompromising depiction of a young person's sexual orientation. Engrossing, supremely enjoyable, and beautifully written."—Jaime Manrique, author of Eminent Maricones, "In this very personal and poignant autobiography, González narrates his coming-of-age and outing as a gay man amid the poverty, illiteracy, and abuse-but also love-of his family and community.

Synopsis
Heartbreaking, poetic, and intensely personal, "Butterfly Boy" is a unique coming out and coming-of-age story of a first-generation Chicano who trades one life for another, only to discover that history and memory are not exchangeable or forgettable. , Heartbreaking, poetic, and intensely personal, Butterfly Boy is a unique coming out and coming-of-age story of a first-generation Chicano who trades one life for another, only to discover that history and memory are not exchangeable or forgettable. Growing up among poor migrant Mexican farmworkers, Rigoberto Gonzalez also faces the pressure of coming-of-age as a gay man in a culture that prizes machismo. Losing his mother when he is twelve, Gonzalez must then confront his father's abandonment and an abiding sense of cultural estrangement, both from his adopted home in the United States and from a Mexican birthright. His only sense of connection gets forged in a violent relationship with an older man. By finding his calling as a writer, and by revisiting the relationship with his father during a trip to Mexico, Gonzalez finally claims his identity at the intersection of race, class, and sexuality. The result is a leap of faith that every reader who ever felt like an outsider will immediately recognize. 2007 Finalist, Randy Shilts Awards for Gay Nonfiction, Publishing Triangle Winner, American Book Awards, Before Columbus Foundation, Heartbreaking, poetic, and intensely personal, Butterfly Boy is a unique coming out and coming-of-age story of a first-generation Chicano who trades one life for another, only to discover that history and memory are not exchangeable or forgettable.

- g***2 (944)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook arrived sooner than expected in great packaging. I contacted the selle b/ they sent the correct book but whose condition was a little less than described. They communicated with me immediately. They apologized, gave me a full refund without my asking. I fully look forward to purchasing from them again. It provides revenue to fund local job training, education, and community programs that help people find employment and achieve financial stability. Thank you!
- 1***2 (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.Fundamentals of Physics Extended (Nr. 286648984516)

Shipping was reasonably priced and arrived in timely manner. Excellent communication and customer service throughout the process. Buy with confidence. Highly recommended.
