Description
A critical look at female queerness through the lens of first-generation culture.
In Tanto Tanto, a queer daughter of immigrants highlights the struggles she faces in romantic relationships amidst a culture of oppressive, culturally sanctioned heteronormativity. Exploring the consequences of queer love in both contemporary American and Luso-American societies, Tanto Tanto unsettles ideas about the privileged queer body, romantic love, queer motherhood, femininity, gender identity, sex, and more.
This collection makes visible and troubling what is often overlooked, misunderstood, and romanticised in “American” homosexuality.

Praised as "a rich, complex, and breathtaking tapestry of desire, longing, pleasure, sorrow, and, above all, love," Tanto Tanto is celebrated for its tender yet vigorous voice. The collection is noted for its honest portrayal of love and the struggles of growing up in a heteronormative, working-class immigrant family while embracing queer identity. Reviewers highlight its intersectional depth, sensuality, and emotional resonance, marking it as a masterful and moving work.
