Description
The author, Mike Albo, tells the story of a fictional character, Mike Albo, who is a gay man from the suburbs of the 1970s. Albo uses Mike Albo's memories to tell the story of his own life, which is also full of gay memories from the 1970s. Albo's memories are full of humor and irony, and he uses them to show the different aspects of his life as a gay man in the 1970s.
Juxtaposing a trip to his childhood home -- where he has retreated to try to make some sense of his hectic existence in New York City -- with memories of growing up gay in seventies suburbia, Albo creates "Mike Albo." This character's memories are from a fictitious life that's outrageous, hilarious, and embarrassingly real. From a typical suburban childhood to his perpetual search for true love, Albo evokes a poignant, nostalgic past and a vibrant, energetic present. By turns vulnerable and jaded, flamboyant and obsessive,
Hornito is full of subversive humor and outrageous irony.
