They are able to transcend time and flit between environments as they battle on the Dominican republic while exploring politics, art, nature, sex and music while taking drugs and exploring Caribbean syncretic religions and magic. In addition the near future of environmental destruction and ongoing disease with the supremacy of government corruption.īoth the hero (a transman) and villain (a repressed misogynistic bisexual man) are really antiheroes and fit on the same coin. The present day of poverty, classism, colorism and gender repression as well as homophobia and machismo. The turbulent past with issues of colonialism, racism and slavery. This book takes place in three time periods of Dominican history. This is a defiant, brave, complex short novel that challenges genre, sexuality, gender, and the nature of love. 5 "harsh complex queer machismo" stars !!!
