About this product
Product Information
The latest in the Little Sister's Classics series resurrecting gay and lesbian literary gems: a viciously funny, shocking yet ultimately moving 1975 novel, an allegory of Franco's Spain, about a young gay man (the self-described "carnivorous lamb") coming of age with a mother who despises him, a father who ignores him, and a brother who loves him. Author Agustin Gomez-Arcos left his native Spain for France in the 1960s to escape its censorship policies. The Carnivorous Lamb, originally written in French, won the Prix Hermes, and this, its 1984 English translation, was widely acclaimed.

Gomez-Arcos not only takes on Spain but the Catholic Church as well. He does so with humor that disguises the true horror and tyrannical rule of Federico Franco.... The concept of authority is blown away and in its place we get identity and liberty as the author defies all in beautiful and provocative ways. This is a book not only to be read for the excitement of reading a masterpiece but to be cherished as a document that has returned to us from the dead.- Eureka Pride (Eureka Springs, Arkansas), Gomez-Arcos' prose, poetic but economical, is the perfect foil to his chosen subject. He writes beautifully of the boys' affair, fully aware of its illicitness.... [It is] a book that is as politically charged and appropriate now as it was in 1975 when it was first published. āWashington Blade, Triumphant ... provocative and carnal ...
