About this book

Charles Rice-González wrote "Chulito." Chulito is a narrative of coming-out and mature love, set against the backdrop of a thriving South Bronx neighborhood and the queer youth culture of Manhattan's piers. The book centers on Chulito, a young Latino man who is attractive, tough, and passionate about hip-hop, as well as the colorful people who live in his lively neighborhood.

Chulito, which translates to "cutie," is well-known in his neighborhood.

This bold seductive, and colorful piece is sure to become an LGBT classic.
