| Abstract
|
:
|
"In the tradition of the Latin American testimonio, this is the story of Juan Rivera, a.k.a. Juanito Xtravaganza, a Latino runaway youth who ends up homeless in the streets of New York in the late 1970s and becomes partner of the intentionally famous 1980s Pop artist Keith Haring, as told to the author and retold by him. A hybrid text - part testimonio, part linguistic and cultural analysis, and part art criticism - this is also a history of New York Latino neighborhoods during this period of devastating disinvestment and gentrification, as well as a personal, heart-left meditation on the art of listening and the ethical limits of representing queer Latino lives."--BOOK JACKET
