Introduction

Emilio has inherited his pigeon trainer mother's coop when she dies. Financial troubles are mounting, but he is preoccupied with intrusive erotic fantasies about the men in his life. To remedy his situation, he embarks on a journey that will hopefully help him find a sense of purpose and honours his family's pigeon training tradition. Gently humorous, with sexy, surreal touches, De León has crafted a sublime and original coming-of-age tale.
