About this ebook
Essays include:
- A romantic relationship unravels while Gutiérrez contemplates the value of adobe as both vernacular architecture and commodified art object.
- El Tiradito, a popular shrine in downtown Tucson, becomes a backdrop for the retelling of a classed, clandestine love affair between young laborer Juan Olivera and his hacendado’s wife, scaffolding questions of labor, belief, desire, and self-making.
- A travel diary from Tijuana to San Diego, from the border wall prototypes in one country to a wedding in another, highlights questions of gender, ethnic identity, and citizenship status.
Editor's Note
Powerful debut…
Gutiérrez (a writer, poet, social critic, and university educator) offers an emotive collection of essays about issues at the heart of culture and identity. “Brown Neon” is divided in three sections that tackle distinct ideas — relationships, home, and art — all from the queer Latinx perspective. Melodic prose balances deep intellect in this powerful debut.
