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 Gonz疝ez 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Literary Achievement, Publishing Triangle \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Told in a series of revealing vignettes and poems, Gonz疝ez's \u003ci\u003eAutobiography of my Hungers\u003c\/i\u003e turns 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.\"-\u003ci\u003eEl Paso Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Through his provocative vignettes, Gonz疝ez communicates a lifetime of struggle for affirmation and self-acceptance.\"-\u003ci\u003eMake\/Shift \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rigoberto Gonz疝ez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299292541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299292546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Rigoberto Gonz疝ez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119536107775,"sku":"9780299292546","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e103dc6-5ffe-4120-8bed-56384187ef8c.jpg?v=1687409833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autobiography-of-my-hungers-rigoberto-gonz-lez-9780299292546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
