now if you wanna gtfo of america for a bit, try this:

why is it different to what you’re accustomed to?

1) written by a chinese-cuban gay
2) who was in france, in the 60s (it is a very 60s book in its cultural references and some theories that inform it, but 60s europe not hippy-america)
3) in the cuban neobaroque style, which owes so much to the spanish golden age, but actually survives decently in english translation
4) and was highly praised by his buddy roland barthes, who did not dish out compliments gratuitously
5) and it’s a wild, rollicking, ecstatic prose
