Overview

Una novela por una brillante nueva voz, una historia queer sobre alcanzar la madurez que trata de la compleja relación entre un joven inmigrante, su madre y su madre patria.

Un joven espera que su madre lo recoja del colegio. Pero a su mamá se le olvidó que es mamá y nunca llega. Se fue a buscar al padre ausente del joven a las montañas de Colombia. Cuando al fin regresa, avienta las cosas del padre en el patio trasero y emigra con sus dos hijos a Miami, donde sus vidas dan un giro dramático.
 
En Estados Unidos, su madre trabaja de mesera, cuando antes fue doctora. El joven abraza su identidad queer sin reservas, así como abraza su nuevo hogar, pero no queda libre de una sensación de pérdida. Al ir creciendo, la relación con su madre se vuelve angustiosa, enredada, un amor tan intenso que bordea el dolor vívido, pero también es el axis sobre el cual giran todas sus decisiones. Es posible que lo haya olvidado alguna vez, pero ella está siempre en la mente de él.
 
El joven se muda a Nueva York, entrando y saliendo de la cama de distintos hombres mientras busca algo, a alguien, que lo vuelva un hombre completo de nuevo. Cuando su madre lo invita a ir con ella a Colombia a visitar a la familia, vuelve ahora como un hombre joven que intenta encontrar la paz con su padre, con su patria, con la persona en quien se ha convertido desde que se fue y con quien su madre es: al final, logramos conocerla y saber de sus secretos, su compleja ambivalencia y su amor fiero.
 
Hombrecito es el retrato conmovedor de un joven dividido entre culturas, entre ideas disímiles de sí mismo. De manos de un extraordinario nuevo talento, nos llega una historia contada con una sobrecogedora belleza e intensidad, una historia para todo aquel en busca de un hogar, en busca de una forma de amar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A novel by a brilliant new voice, Hombrecito is a queer coming-of-age story about a young immigrant’s complex relationships with his mother and his motherland

In this groundbreaking novel, Santiago Jose Sanchez plunges us into the heart of one boy’s life. His mother takes him and his brother from Colombia to America, leaving their absent father behind but essentially disappearing herself once they get to Miami.

In America, his mother works as a waitress when she was once a doctor. The boy embraces his queer identity as wholeheartedly as he embraces his new home, but not without a sense of loss. As he grows, his relationship with his mother becomes fraught, tangled, a love so intense that it borders on vivid pain but is also the axis around which his every decision revolves. She may have once forgotten him, disappeared, but she is always on his mind.

He moves to New York, ducking in and out of bed with different men as he seeks out something, someone, to make him whole again. When his mother invites him to visit family in Colombia with her, he returns to the country as a young man, trying to find peace with his father, with his homeland, with who he’s become since he left, and with who his mother is: finally we come to know her and her secrets, her complex ambivalence and fierce love.

Hombrecito—“little man”—is a moving portrait of a young person between cultures, between different ideas of himself. From an extraordinary new talent, this is a story told with startling beauty and intensity, a story for anyone searching for home, searching for a way to love.
