Produktbeschreibung

This is a gripping tale of a young gay man from México City, Miguel Martin, who travels to Seville to make sense of an inherited blood disease that is common amongst Sephardic Jews. In his quest, he uncovers family secrets dating back to the 1500s, when his ancestors left for México. Layers of Andalusian history and the pageantry of Seville's Semana Santa form the backdrop for Miguel's attempt to make sense of the blood that courses through his veins. While in Spain, he suffers an anemic episode and ends up in the care of the alluring Carla Reyes, an attending physician at the local hospital. The intense sensuality of Seville gets under Miguel's skin, and he must navigate competing romantic sentiments - those for the strikingly handsome Juan Moreno and unexpected ones that unfold between him and Cala, who he discovers belatedly, is a trans woman. Their mounting sexual passion forces each to embrace a rich poetics of intimacy, the realization that our identities - particularly around spirituality, the body, gender, and sexuality - are complex and fluid and capable of extraordinary imagination. This tender love story is a tour de force of history, secrets, romance, and the humanity of transgender people in one of Europe's most enchanting cities.

Autorenporträt

Michael Hartwig is a Boston and Provincetown-based author of LGBTQ fiction. Hartwig is an accomplished professor of religion and ethics as well as an established artist. His original oil paintings are represented by On Center Gallery in Provincetown.

Hartwig grew up in Dallas but spread his wings early on living in Rome for five years, moving to New England later, and then working in the area of educational travel to the Middle East and Europe.

His fiction weaves together his interest in LGBTQ studies, ethics, religion, art, languages, and travel. The books are set in international venues. They include rich local descriptions and are peppered with the local language. Characters grapple not only with their own gender and sexuality but with prevailing paradigms of sexuality and family in the world around them.

Hartwig has a facility for fast-paced plots that transport readers to other worlds. They are romantic and steamy as well as thoughtful and engaging. Hartwig imagines rich characters who are at crossroads in their lives. In many instances, these crossroads mirror cultural ones. There's plenty of sexual tension to keep readers on the edge of their seats, but the stories are enriched by broader considerations historical, cultural, and philosophical.
