Los Cachorros by Fernando Rodríguez Mansilla
Following Cuéllar from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood in Lima, the novel traces how a childhood injury—an attack that leaves him sexually maimed—derails his development, alienates him from his circle of school friends, and condemns him to a life of isolation and frustrated desire. Set against a backdrop of male camaraderie, machismo and social expectation, his thwarted attempts at intimacy and normalcy expose the cruelty of social norms, the loss of innocence, and the persistence of humiliation and longing.
