Camaleón - The Lost Years Living in the Closet

Carlos Valenzuela

Casa editrice: BooxAi

Sinossi

Banished from his home on the border in Agua Prieta, Sonora, by his homophobic father, Carlos embarks on a journey to find Jesse, the love of his life. At a time when homosexuality was against the law and classified as a mental disorder, he seeks through achievement the applause denied by society and the tenderness he disavows for himself.
But what happens when Carlos discovers lowering his tone and standing with legs wide apart does not protect him from homophobic rants, sexual advances of women, and men who deny their own sexuality? Camaleón is a tour de force tale of the early gender fluidity of the 60s. The colorful characters, drag queens, and trans people come from a broad spectrum of gender identities and teach the hero that the only gender rule is that there are no rules, compelling him to leave everything behind and embrace his own identity.

The Curse of the Cole Women - A...

Marielle Thompson

The Cole women are cursed. Each generation will birth a daughter, lose their love, and, as surely as the tide beats against the rocky shore, take her own life by giving herself to the sea. For generations, the Cole women have lived as outcasts, maintaining a lighthouse on a small island off the coast of New Hampshire. Ever since their ancestor was accused of witchcraft and cast into the sea hundreds of years prior, the islanders have ostracized the Coles, distrusting their rumored magic and their control of the lighthouse.Despite their mistreatment, the Cole women are compelled to remain on the island because they know that if a Cole woman does not light the beacon on Juniper Island, anyone who is out at sea will be drowned. Out of guilt and obligation, the Cole women live out their solitary lives on the island, knowing someday their recompense for protecting the people from the sea will be to die in the sea themselves.Told in three interwoven timelines in the late twentieth century, The Curse of the Cole Women unravels the lives of three women who struggle with their relationships with each other as they contend with the reality of their fates—is it truly a curse, or is it generational madness that drives Cole women to the sea?
