Gulf Dreams by Emma Perez
Fiction. LGBT Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. GULF DREAMS is the story of a Chicana who comes of age in a racist, rural Texas town. Through memory, the protagonist reexamines her unresolved obsessive love for a young woman, her best friend since childhood. A powerful, gripping, and disturbing story of passion and betrayal, survival and vengeance, compulsion and resilience, told in arresting images and fragmented, dreamlike narrative--Teresa de Lauretis, professor of History of Consciousness, UC Santa Cruz. This amalgam of life history, creative nonfiction, psychoanalytic treatise and fictionalized memoirs is a welcome addition to queer literature--Gloria Anzaldua, author of BORDERLANDS.
