"There's no denying it, media culture has ushered in a new era of visibility for gays in America. Yet somehow the gay Latino doesn't fit into this sound-bite identity and usually isn't included in national media images. Rane Arroyo offers a corrective." "How to Name a Hurricane collects short stories and other fictions depicting Latino drag queens and leather men, religious sinners and happy atheists, working class heroes and cyberspace vaqueros - a parade of characters that invites readers to consider whether one is more authentic a gay Latino than another. Whereas actual hurricanes are given names, the gays given voice in this collection must name themselves - and these narratives in turn reveal something of the "I" of Hurricane Rane. Here are monologues, a story in verse, and other experimental forms appropriate to experimental lives - all affirming the basic human rights to dignity, equality, love, and even silliness."--BOOK JACKET.
