From the body's first mysterious eroticism to its final humiliation and pain, Gil Cuadros gives voice to both the beauty and sorrow of our common fate. His writing cuts like a double-edged sword--at times artful and sharp, at times unfiltered and raw. This is an awesome and haunting book.\"--David Trinidad\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The sensual, the expressive, the daring, the transformed become the matryrs of every era, every family. Their memoirs, heroics are our most devastating works of art. Gil Cuadros's story 'Unprotected' is a classic of AIDS fiction and deserves a place of honor in the mosaic of American writing.\"--Sarah Schulman\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In a voice poised between plainspokenness and urgency, Gil Cuadros writes about the remnants of love in a devastated world. The poems and stories in \u003cem\u003eCity of God\u003c\/em\u003e are as dire as they are beautiful, and sharp as a blow to the body.\"--Bernard Cooper\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I accuse Gil Cuadros of literary seduction in the nth degree ... He makes me read on when I want to cry ... I do not want to look at his words, and yet I cannot take my eyes away. His images sooth, burn, inspire. I accuse Gil Cuadros of language abuse--his stroke of silk, his pen a bludgeon. I accuse him of heart-bashing.\"--Wanda Coleman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e City Lights Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780872862951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/1994 pg. 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/1994 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/31\/1994 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1994 pg. 1219\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gil Cuadros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645482463388,"sku":"9780872862951","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bc8d2090-8912-4784-9d3b-7052cf9f7d2e.jpg?v=1603861218","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/city-of-god-9780872862951","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
