*Honorable Mention for the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute Translation Prize* 'These days, when an American president has decreed that 'there are only two genders: male and female' . . . an undaunted, lyrical voice from a southern corner of the hemisphere offers a model of resistance.' --The New Yorker '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 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. For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 2,000 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
