A major rediscovered queer classic: the subversive, blazingly beautiful oddball
romance between an ageing trans woman and a young revolutionary by a Latin
American iconIt is spring 1986 and Santiago's streets are aflame with protests
against the dictator Augusto Pinochet. From her lavishly decorated hovel, the
Queen of the Corner embroiders linen for the wealthy, dreams of romance and
listens to boleros to drown out the rioting and gunshots. When handsome young
macho Carlos waltzes into her life, the ageing queer swiftly agrees to help with
his clandestine activities. As a strange connection blooms, their fates careen
towards that of the dictator himself. Written in lushly imaginative prose that
blends the sordid and the profound, the romantic and the militant, My Tender
Matador is a transgressive queer classic of desire and revolution.
