Todos mis padres
by Fernando Yacamán
Description
This book is a gay-themed novel, set in Mexico City between the eighties of the last century and the present decade. Through its pages we observe the search for the identity of Luis Habib, a young man who lives the gay night of the city, with all its temptations and all its dangers. Luis has several sexual and affective relationships, among them with “El Centauro”, a university professor of Geography, who is married and has a son, and always keeps Luis at a distance. Luis's relationships are almost always with older men, men who in many ways are also cruel and violent, a bit like his father, like "El Coyote".

Reviews
“The protagonist of this novel starts from a certainty since childhood: being gay. However, he will face the doubts that come with age: the absent father, a mother who persists in forming a family, a dating journal that recalls the dimension of pleasure. Its author gives us a work with a direct, sexual and intimate language of a son who flees from pain as much as from the father ”.
Nazul Aramayo
"Todos mis padres is not just a gay novel, but an observation point that examines personal and environmental catastrophe."
Antonio Marquet
“In his first novel, Fernando Yacamán oscillates between tenderness and desire, introspection and brutality, solidarity and abandonment. Todos mis padres is a powerful earthquake that shakes the boring homonormative platitudes of Mexican literature.
