Book
Entre Él y Yo
Luis Carlos Barrera Peña
Francisco saca del anonimato a Lucas luego de escuchar su historia y nos cuenta del despertar gay del adolescente con un guatemalteco mucho mayor que él. La distancia, el oprobio familiar y la incertidumbre del futuro a los dieciséis años hacen a Lucas buscar el reemplazo de aquel amor lejano del que no logra desprenderse y, desilusionado, pierde la brújula de su vida en más de alguna ocasión en esa lucha incansable que le representará defender su naturaleza dentro de una sociedad abiertamente homofóbica pero es férreo en la faena que, se convence, vale la pena.
