Synopsis "The man From Clear Lake: Earth day Founder Senator Gaylord Nelson"
Rigoberto Gonzalez, author of the critically acclaimed memoir Butterfly Boy: Memories of a Chicano Mariposa, takes a second piercing look at his past through a startling new lens: hunger. The need for sustenance originating in childhood poverty, the adolescent emotional need for solace and comfort, the adult desire for a larger world, another lover, a different body all are explored by Gonzalez in a series of heartbreaking and poetic vignettes. Each vignette is a defining moment of self-awareness, every moment an important step in a lifelong journey toward clarity, knowledge, and the nourishment that comes in various forms even "the smallest biggest joys" help piece together a complex portrait of a gay man of color who at last defines himself by what he learns, not by what he yearns for. Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Literary Achievement, Publishing Triangle Told in a series of revealing vignettes and poems, Gonzalez sAutobiography of my Hungersturns moments of need and want into revelations of truth and self-awareness, creating the portrait of an artist that is complex if not entirely complete. El Paso Times Through his provocative vignettes, Gonzalez communicates a lifetime of struggle for affirmation and self-acceptance. Make/Shift"
