Description: A Last Supper of Queer Apostles by Pedro Lemebel, Gwendolyn Harper, Idra Novey Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Searingly political, extravagantly stylish dispatches from the margins by a queer Latin American icon, in English for the first timeWhen everyone who has treated him like dirt is lost in the cesspit or in nothingness, Pedro Lemebel will still be a star Roberto Bolano"I speak from my difference" wrote Pedro Lemebel, the Chilean writer who became an icon of resistance and queer transgression across Latin America. His innovative essays-known as cronicas-combine memoir, reportage, history and fiction to bring visibility and dignity to the lives of sexual minorities, the poor and the powerless.In a baroque, freewheeling style that fused political urgency with playfulness, resistance with camp, Lemebel shone a light on lives and events that many wanted to suppress: the glitzy literary salon held above a torture chamber, the queer sex and community that bloomed in Santiagos hidden corners and the last days of trans sex workers dying of AIDS, each cast in the starring role of her own private tragedy.As Chile emerged from Pinochets brutal dictatorship into a flawed democracy, Lemebel re-wrote the countrys history from the margins, and today his subversive voice echoes around the world.________He speaks brilliantly for a difference that refuses to disappear Garth GreenwellPedro Lemebel is alive!
