Alligator Tears by Edgar Gomez
A Memoir in Essays
Alligator Tears is a darkly comic memoir-in-essays in which Edgar Gomez recounts growing up and scraping by in Florida—navigating poverty, low-wage work, risky hustles, and the bonds of queer Latinx friendship. Using the image of running in zigzags to evade danger, he examines the hollowness of the American Dream while searching for dignity, love, and community.
