"Throughout, even when wading through territory rife with tough emotions, he maintains his grace, humor, and powers of wide observation. [...] Amen, Rigoberto, amen." --Daniel Olivas, Los Angeles Review of Books, "These beautifully written personal essays pay tribute to the people and events that influence Gonzlez's work as a poet, writer, critic, and literary activist. This work is also a call to action, an invitation, and a hope for the next generation of scholars to keep up with the flourishing literary production by Latino mariposa writers." --Emmy Prez, author of Solstice Gonzlez's most explicit work of advocacy. . . . Red-Inked Retablos reads like the work of an elder statesman, a mentor who knows the struggle's score." -- The Economy, "These beautifully written personal essays pay tribute to the people and events that influence Gonzlez's work as a poet, writer, critic, and literary activist.

This work is also a call to action, an invitation, and a hope for the next generation of scholars to keep up with the flourishing literary production by Latino mariposa writers."--Emmy Pérez, author of Solstice , "A sharp collection of 13 pieces--personal essays, literary criticism, and speeches--this book pleasantly mixes lyricism with clear-eyed frankness. Poet González, author of the memoir Butterfly Boy , writes beautifully and searingly about his experiences as a gay Latino, and the work of his fellow queer and Latina/o writers. It's to González's credit that his essays and literary criticism share similarities, intelligently analyzing his own experiences in the former, and foregrounding the raw connections people have with books in the latter. In recounting his experiences and arguments, González's voice finds a wonderful synergy, staying intimate, compassionate, and uncompromising." -- Publishers Weekly, "Blurs the seeming duality in creative nonfiction between the expository and the personal." - Daniel Chacón, author of Unending Rooms, "González is an excellent writer. His observations reveal both the traditional and more modern views of the culture he grew up in and learned to live with." --W.

Synopsis
In the Mexican Catholic tradition, retablos are ornamental structures made of carved wood framing an oil painting of a devotional image, usually a patron saint. Acclaimed author and essayist Rigoberto Gonz lez commemorates the passion and the pain of these carvings in his new volume Red-Inked Retablos, a moving memoir of human experience and thought. This frank new collection masterfully combines accounts from Gonz lez's personal life with reflections on writers who have influenced him. The collection offers an in-depth meditation on the development of gay Chicano literature and the responsibilities of the Chicana/o writer. Widely acclaimed for giving a voice to the Chicano GLBT community, Gonz lez's writing spans a wide range of genres: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and bilingual books for children and young adults. Introduced by Women's Studies professor Maythee Rojas, Retablos collects thirteen pieces that together provide a narrative of Gonz lez's life from his childhood through his career as a writer, critic, and mentor. In Red-Inked Retablos, Gonz lez continues to expand his oeuvre on mariposa (literally, "butterfly") memory, a genre he pioneered in which Chicano/a writers openly address non-traditional sexuality. For Gonz lez, mariposa memory is important testimony not only about reconfiguring personal identity in relation to masculinity, culture, and religion. It's also about highlighting values like education, shaping a sex-positive discourse, and exercising agency through a public voice. It's about making the queer experience a Chicano experience and the Chicano experience a queer one., In the Mexican Catholic tradition, retablos are ornamental structures made of carved wood framing an oil painting of a devotional image, usually a patron saint.
