Let’s talk about the overt queerness in this novel. How much does the family’s history with lucha libre (and the concept of masking) play into each of their stories? How do Ernesto and Julian’s queer experiences differ, and in what ways are they the same? How does homophobia, or the lack thereof, distance or bring these family members closer together? Have you had any experiences where queerness has brought healing or community?
