“Intoxicating . . . Sexy, political and deeply humane . . . We all owe Penguin Classics a round of shots for A Last Supper of Queer Apostles.” —The Washington Post

A galvanizing look at life on the margins of society by a crowning figure of Latin America's queer counterculture who celebrated “melodrama, kitsch, extravagance, and vulgarity of all kinds” (Garth Greenwell) in playful, performative, linguistically inventive essays, now available in English for the first time

A Penguin Classic

“I speak from my difference,” wrote Pedro Lemebel, an openly queer writer and artist living through Chile’s AIDS epidemic and the collapse of the Pinochet dictatorship. In brilliantly innovative essays—known as crónicas—that combine memoir, reportage, fiction, history, and poetry, he brought visibility and dignity to sexual minorities, the poor, and the powerless. Touching on everything from Che Guevara to Elizabeth Taylor, from the aftermath of authoritarian rule to the daily lives of Chile’s locas—a slur for trans women and effeminate gay men that he boldly reclaims—his writing infuses political urgency with playfulness, realism with absurdism, and resistance with camp, and his AIDS crónicas immortalize a generation of Chileans doubly “disappeared” by casting each loca, as she falls sick, in the starring role of her own private tragedy. This volume brings together the best of his work, introducing readers of English to the subversive genius of a literary activist and queer icon whose acrobatic explorations of the Santiago demimonde reverberate around the world.

这本在goodreads上rating也非常少,queer POC外加是非虚构,意料之中的小众,应该属于被埋没的宝石了……虽然是散文,但是作者文笔非常好(如果翻译真实还原原文的话),写出了散文诗的感觉,但内容却很少抒情,更多鲜血淋漓的痛……集子里涉及到革命/叛乱、性和罪化同性恋、艾滋病等等,都是非常真实的切肤之痛……语言非常诗化,但叙述却直白和不加掩饰,这种看似矛盾的组合实则毫无违和感,非常神奇的阅读体验

裹着吸血鬼片儿皮的政治讽刺片儿,但是不了解智利历史确实影响理解了,撒切尔出来的时候我整个人都是懵逼的……总体上应该是用吸血鬼代表独裁者,然而这个表现手法好疲软,外加全程铺满的小提琴垫乐真的有点催眠
