Mexican by birth but adopted by white American Pentecostal parents, Alex is hungry to learn about the place where he was born. He spends every free moment across the border in JuÌrez -- perfecting his Spanish, hanging with a collective of young activists, and studying lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) for his graduate work in sociology. Meanwhile Elana, busy fighting her own demons, feels disillusioned by academia and has stopped going to class. And though they are best friends, Elana has no idea that Alex has fallen in love with Mateo, a lucha libre fighter. When Alex goes missing and Elana can't determine whether he left of his own accord or was kidnapped, it's clear that neither of them has been honest about who they are. 650 0 $a Group identity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lucha libre $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adultery $v Fiction. 651 0 $a El Paso (Tex.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexico $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Gay fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 18 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041851.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023352.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011740.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024954.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014926.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20230602011056.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230124011205.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20220903010840.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220902015417.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024416.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014302.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010250.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220401030502.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220330010237.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220302013027.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220302011857.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220211010019.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20220208012411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F1CE189A88AC11EC8370445E5CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
