Borrowing Time

"Whatever your orientation, no matter your ethnicity, you'll never be the same after a journey through this odyssey. A vivid and visceral portrayal of a sexual and political coming-of-age in today's America-- and beyond." Laura S. Washington, Ida B. Wells-Barnett University rofessor, DePaul University; Columnist, Chicago Sun-Times

"Gay literature is rich in so many areas, yet we still have a need for strong stories from the world of Latino culture-- about family, about youth, about coming out, about creating adult relationships, about AIDS. Now, Carlos Mock give us a strong Puerto Rican story that deals with all these isues." - Patricia Nell Warren, author of The Front Runner and The Wild Man.

In Borrowing Time: a Latino Sexual Odyssey we get a glimpse of the different manifestations of AIDS: the fear, the shame, the regrets and the final victory. The "AIDS" crisis has been an opportunity for the homosexual community for growth, for strengthening ties, for reclaiming rights from the government, and, above all, for reflection. The AIDS epidemic can be seen by many as a curse, and for others, as the opportunity to bring out the best in you.
