Los grandes creadores LGTB del siglo XX como nunca antes te los habían contado.

¿Sabías que Tórtola Valencia, una de las bailarinas más famosas del primer tercio del siglo XX, tuvo que adoptar a su novia para que pudiera heredar y ahora están enterradas como madre e hija en un cementerio de Barcelona? ¿Y que Luis Cernuda, uno de los grandes de la generación del 27, escribió Poemas para un cuerpo inspirado en un culturista mexicano del que se enamoró? ¿A que tampoco sabías que Francis Bacon, uno de los pintores británicos más importantes del siglo XX, murió en Madrid porque vino a España a encontrarse con un novio o que Carmen Conde, primera mujer en ingresar en la Real Academia de la Lengua Española, compartió gran parte de su vida con otra mujer?

Esta es tan solo una pequeña muestra de los nombres que podrás encontrar en las páginas de este ensayo pulgativo que, con un estilo ágil y directo, pretende darle su lugar a unos artistas que tuvieron que esconderse debido a su disidencia sexual o bien arriesgarse a sufrir las consecuencias de vivirla en libertad. Y es que biografías como la de Gil de Biedma, Miguel de Molina o Mari Trini, entre otras, nos servirán para reconstruir parte de la memoria cultural disidente del siglo XX, además de para demostrar que los rebeldes del deseo, esos que tuvieron que enfrentarse a las normas sociales establecidas, siempre han estado ahí.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The great LGBT creators of the 20th century as you've never been told before.

Did you know that Tórtola Valencia, one of the most famous dancers of the first third of the 20th century, had to adopt her girlfriend so she could inherit and now they are buried as mother and daughter in a cemetery in Barcelona? And that Luis Cernuda, one of the greats of the Generation of '27, wrote "Poems for a Body" inspired by a Mexican bodybuilder he fell in love with? You probably didn't know that Francis Bacon, one of the most important British painters of the 20th century, died in Madrid because he came to Spain to meet a boyfriend, or that Carmen Conde, the first woman to join the Royal Spanish Academy, shared much of her life with another woman.

This is just a small sample of the names you will find in the pages of this enlightening essay, which, with an agile and direct style, aims to give their place to artists who had to hide due to their sexual dissidence or risk suffering the consequences of living it freely. And it is biographies like those of Gil de Biedma, Miguel de Molina, or Mari Trini, among others, that will help us reconstruct part of the dissident cultural memory of the 20th century, as well as demonstrate that the rebels of desire, those who had to face established social norms, have always been there.

Two romances for the price of one!!
Format: Kindle
This was a really interesting book. Usually you only get a single romance, maybe some side character has a little something happen offpage. Not here. You get two complete romances for the price of one. Though the romances are interconnected and somewhat similar. Both Eleanor and Tatum don't believe they should have relationships...though for very different reasons. And they both overcome their fears and move forward with their love interests in similar fashion. Dawn was by far the best side character, and I loved her. I would honestly love to have a story of her finding love again, even at her age. She's just so fun. Eleanor and Carson are a fun pair. They bring out the fun and playful in her. She brings out the emotional depth in them. They really do make each other better, more complete people. They become close very quickly which ends up scaring Eleanor off. Tatum and June are adorable. They both obviously like each other, but Tatum is hung up on the idea that nothing will ever work because of how her family is, and June is trying to deal with being the kind of person who needs a relationship to feel safe and normal. They finally start to open up to each other and then mutually freak out a little causing hurt feelings. There is a third act breakup for each couple. They happen about the same time, and last for the same time in the book and chronologically which is a few months unfortunately. Overall it was a very light, fluffy story that is easy to fall into. There aren't really any truly explicit spicy scenes. There is the barest amount of spice and then it gets glossed over, so not truly fade to black either. I wasn't a fan of the whole 'NYC is so super fabulous and everyone should want to live there' kind of vibe parts of the book gave off, but that's more of a personal hangup of mine than anything else.

Feeling The Holiday inspiration
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Tatum needs a quick escape from her small town life and the week of events planned to introduce her (and the rest of the family) to a surprise half brother, so she joins customer-who-she-won’t-let-herself-love June on a business trip to NYC Tatum is swapping homes with Eleanor, who needs an escape of her own from The City after of PR nightmare of a job - and situationship - loss throws her life into chaos. While she’s staying at Tatum’s, she meets her younger sibling and her attraction to them is both immediate and required. But are there feelings too? I think with any story that involves multiple relationships, you’re going to be interested in one over the other. For me, I was invested more in Eleanor and Carson. Their spontaneity and artistic sides of their jobs seemed to mesh well from the start. I’m still not sold on why Tatum and June shouldn’t have been together from the start, so it felt like I was waiting for them to catch up. My favorite side character would have to be aging former movie star Dawn, from Tatum and June’s storyline. I was cheering for her to get a second chance at the spotlight. I was happy for HEAs all around, especially when the couples have to overcome the issues of having existing lives in different places. I enjoy books like this when there’s an epilogue set later too, assuring those HEAs stick the landing!

Entertaining
Format: Kindle
This is a fun book that includes a house swap such as you have seen in the movie Holiday. Tatum and Eleanor both go through things personally and need a change so they switch houses which are in different towns. One goes to a small town, whereas one is in the Hollywood area. It’s really fun to see how both characters adjust to being in different places and how it really makes them think about their own lives while they each by themselves falling for someone. There is wonderful banter throughout the book and all of the side characters are entertaining as well. It’s a fun book.

Not for me
Format: Paperback
I’ll start off by saying I’m definitely not the target audience for this book yet I tried not to let that color my review any. The dual main characters are interesting in their own ways yet I didn’t find myself invested in the outcome.

The Holliday but make it sapphic
Format: Paperback
Ok, sapphic twist on The Holiday was just what I needed. I loved all the sweet little details between the couples and all the family drama. June and Tatum swap homes with Eleanor and leave their small town for a big adventure in New York, hoping to sell June's perfume business. Tatum needs to escape her family, and wouldn't you know it, she has always had a huge crush on June. Eleanor needs to get out of New York stat when she finds out her fling is actually engaged, she gets fired from her job, and she is just an all-around mess. She jumps at the chance to swap homes and for a girl with a lot of romantic issues, meeting Tatum's sibling Carson is quite the distraction. In New York, Eleanor's neighbor Dawn is an old famous actress, and she was one of my favorite characters. She was full of life but needed to be reminded how much of a badass she is. June and Tatum are able to get her to be social while she forces them to evaluate what is holding them back. My second favorite character is Carson. The romance between them and Eleanor was so swoony, and I felt like they are the kind of person you want to orbit because being near them would make you happy. I think them as a couple was the best part of the book, and the way Eleanor gets to join in on the crazy family reunion Tatum has to skip out on. Tatum was probably the hardest character for me to love. They felt extremely juvenile for their age, and I kept thinking she was 18-20, only to be reminded she was an adult almost in their 30s. I also felt a little less invested in her love story with June and while I liked them both fine, Carson and Eleanor were top tier for me. If you are looking for a romcom with heart, this one will check those boxes.
