Manuel García: Male Escort, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Real men. Virile, silent, rough like the asphalt of the streets they walk and like the life that has shaped them. In Manuel García's stories, desire does not arise from love but from conflict, from a challenge, from a gesture that lasts a moment too long. It is a masculine eroticism, direct and physical, where skin speaks louder than words and silence weighs as heavily as a held breath.

In the story that gives the collection its title, Prostituto, Pedro is a street kid in 1940s Rio de Janeiro. Having escaped a police raid, he finds refuge in the apartment of Kit, a transsexual who introduces him to a new world: that of the night, of makeup, of men who pay for a smile. But before going out, Pedro must be reborn-and with him, his name.

"Francy," he whispered in front of the mirror. "FrancyElly." Kit looked at him smiling, a cigarette between her fingers and her robe slipping off her shoulder. "Now yes, darling. Now you look ready to be desired."

The night awaited them beyond the window, hot, electric, full of promise. Pedro breathed slowly. He didn't know if he was going to meet a client or his destiny.

Prostitute is a journey into male desire, where man meets man and the boundary between fear and pleasure dissolves into flesh. Stories that don't try to please: they bite, they scratch, they leave their mark. Because true eroticism is never just sex - it's survival, hunger, identity.
