Narrative Supposing Books The Dogs of Balboa

Michael Mirez witnesses a sexual assault and does nothing to stop it. Torn apart by guilt, Michael sabotages his own life, until one year later, when Michael unexpectedly crosses paths with the victim again. Michael is determined to make it up to Noah, a painfully shy Native American boy whose only ambition is to travel into space. But Noah doesn't remember Michael; and Michael doesn't have the courage to refresh his memory. And behind Noah's attack lies a disturbing pastime with roots as old as America itself.

Notice About Books The Dogs of Balboa

I can say with unwavering certainty that this is one of the most painful, yet beautiful, stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I finished it with tears in my eyes; Tears of happiness and tears of despair. The title of this book comes from the story of Vasco Nuñez de Balboa and the innocent souls he threw to his dogs. When Balboa reached the Americas he met men who were married to men, and women who were married to women.  We called them Two-Spirit.  Their differences made them sacred

Asexuality is mentioned. Trans girl. Mexican and Native gay leads. Korean character. I love the diversity in Rose Christos books so much you dont understand. I also love that her gay romances are basically history books. Ive never been more interested in history, I shit you not. But seriously, man. Everything I have ever learnt in school is a big fat lie. Im sorry because I loved my teachers. But boy were you wrong. We grew up adoring man-slaughterers and misanthropes. I am so so sick of it. We

I love this gay teen story. I find it original and relevant as I continue to learn from this writer about the injustice and evil done to the Native Americans. Rose Christo is a wonderful writer and she has again given us two very memorable characters in Michael and Noah. The story is told from Michael's viewpoint but Noah is never sidelined. The boys' growth throughout the story is touching, certain scenes gripping. I love the quietness in which the story is delivered. I was so immersed in the

I had a difficult time getting into this novel. It was difficult with the structure in which it was written. It was hard to distinguish between memory and flashbacks. I found it interesting that the effects of rape are from the witnesses point of view and not the survivors point of view.

2.5 stars~

Disclaimer: Author Rose Christo may not be Native American herself, as she has claimed. -------------------------------------------------------------------Not Christo's best, but it comes together in the end. The start of this book is a bit messy and repetitive, with Michael's self recrimination approaching the dreaded 'wallow' and not a whole lot happening, but after the gut punch of the Day of the Dead celebration it tightens up admirably. The characters are memorable, as is always the case
