Items related to Luchador
Each week, Gabriel Romero's drive to Sunday mass takes him past 'El Ángel,' the golden statue at the heart of Mexico City that haunts his memories and inspires his future. Spurred by the memory of his parents, Gabriel is drawn to the secretive world of lucha libre, where wrestling, performance art and big business collide.
Under the conflicting mentorships of one of lucha libre's famed gay exótico wrestlers and an ambitious young luchador whose star is on the rise, Gabriel must choose between traditions that ground him but may limit his future, and the lure of sex and success that may compromise his independence. Surrounded by a makeshift family of wrestlers, Gabriel charts a course to balance ambition, sexuality, and loyalty to find the future that may have been destined for him since childhood.

About the Author:
Erin Finnegan is a former journalist and winemaker who lives in the foothills outside Los Angeles. A lifelong sports fan and occasional sports writer, she has had to dive out of the way of flying luchadores at matches in both the U.S. and Mexico. Her first novel, Sotto Voce, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and a Foreword Reviews Indiefab Silver Book of the Year Award.
Review:
BEST BOOKS OF 2016 / STARRED REVIEW: Finnegan's glorious coming-of-age story is as much a sweet and touchingly rendered love letter to lucha libre as a romance. --Publishers Weekly
An unconventional romance wrestles, at times literally, with issues of identity and belonging...The sweat and blood in the ring don't detract from the sweetness on display here; the setting may be outside the mainstream, but it s an old-fashioned love story at heart. --Kirkus Reviews
