Book Review of John Rechy's After the Blue Hour
- Abstract: Omar Gonzalez provides a brief book review of gay Chicano novelist John Rechy’s latest book After the Blue Hour. Gonzalez’s review, “The Nepantla of John Rechy,” delivers an overview of the breadth of work by Rechy.Through a Nepantla framework, Gonzalez suggests that Rechy’s latest piece of literature not only problematizes the themes of erotic desire and domination but also establishes itself as yet another important contribution for gay Chi- canx literature.

Transforming Emotional Regime: Pai Hsien- yung’s Crystal Boys
- Abstract: “Transforming Emotional Regime: Pai Hsien- yung’s Crystal Boys” turns towards literature as a means of exploring emotional hierarchies that both inform and organize homophobia and anti-queer violence within the structure of the family. Linshan Jiang takes us through Crystal Boys––a canonical piece of Taiwanese queer lit- erature––a love story between two male lovers up against the social order of fielial piety in Taiwan during the 1960s.
