Memorias ficticias cómicas, sexy y brutales...
Filadelfia, PA: El artista y escritor exitoso, Gilberto González,
vuelve a sus orígenes, a North Philadelphia, en sus memorias ficticias, cómicas, sexy y brutales - Three Rings. La obra de González captura el sabor de su barrio con una colección de cuentos cortos sobre sus experiencias con mujeres entre las edades de 13 a
20 años. Incluye desde a la "church girl" o " la chica de la iglesia", que tiene cucarachas
en su baño, hasta a una mujer mayor, que sorprende al protagonista con una práctica sexual poco bien recibida de su parte. González dice "Quería enfocarme en la vida en este barrio desde el punto de vista de las relaciones interpersonales." Three Rings incluye en sus páginas varios elementos de diseño, y unas pinturas poderosas de González del
paisaje urbano. Éstos hacen hincapié en los temas del libro.
González se escapó de la violencia que mató a muchos de sus compañeros, y Three Rings incorpora alguna de la brutalidad que él experimentó. "Me dieron en la cabeza dos veces,
y por causa de alguna marihuana envenenada, acabé en el hospital. Fui una vez a un funeral de un amigo donde no se podía ni siquiera abrir el ataúd porque éste no se reconocía por una bala que le disfiguró la cara. Me di cuenta que esta vida no es para mí."
Three Rings, por Gilberto González se puede comprar por medio de
www.xlibris.com, www.amazon.com y www.barnesandnoble.com, por $21.99.

A Funny, Shockingly Sexy and Brutal Fictional Memoir
Award winning Artist and writer Gilberto González returns to his former haunts in North Philadelphia in the shockingly sexy, gritty and humorous fictional memoir – Three Rings. González’s book captures the flavor of growing up in the hood with the collection of
short stories roughly based on his relationships with women from the ages 13-20. They include the Girl with cockroaches in the bathroom to the older woman who surprises the main character with a highly unwelcome sexual practice. González says, “I wanted Three Rings to focus on life in the hood but from the point of view of interpersonal relationships.” Three Rings weaves into the pages design elements and González’s powerful paintings of urban landscapes to underscore the themes of the book.
González escaped the violence that took the lives of many of his contemporaries and
Three Rings incorporates some of the brutality he experienced. “I had my head cracked open twice and tainted pot took me to the ER. When you go to a friend’s funeral and
you can’t open the casket because his face was blown off – I realized that wasn’t
my life.”
