Struggle for survival

Onintza Irureta Azkune
13 August 2019 - 09:10

Jess Goldberg is a fictional character, but it's hard to read the novel as an invented story, because it's too real. Located in the years 1960-70, Goldberg is an American from New York. Our character is the mari-boy, lesbian, transgender. It will not fail to ask whether she is a woman or a man. He is also a factory worker. The representation of the character invented in flesh and bone is very easy, as it is an accurate portrait of the desire to live of the marginal bodies of yesteryear.

Goldberg suffers shame, fear and pain in his flesh. But it won't be ruined by fear, it will continue to fight as a team, non-normative identities will come together to stay alive. The author Feinberg shows an atmosphere of great violence, where transphobia, homophobia, racism and class struggle cross. It's not very far from what we live today.

How to Tell Wars and Violations

There's a risk when we look at the conflicts of the past with the glasses of today: every person has our filis and phobias, and from them, it's terribly easy how you can build a flat account of the good and the bad, without any big nuances, but, yes, contrasted with data.
