Violated Frames: Armando Bó and Isabel Sarli’s Sexploits by Victoria Ruétalo (review)

pands other key books on Latin American and Mexican queer lit er a ture such as SifuentesJáuregui’s Transvestism, Masculinity, and Latin American Lit er­ a ture (Palgrave, 2002) and The Avowal of Difference: Queer Latino American Narratives (SUNY Press, 2014), DomínguezRuvalcaba’s Modernity and the Nation in Mexican Repre sen ta tions of Masculinity (Palgrave, 2007), and Irwin’s Mexican Masculinities (University of Minnesota Press, 2003). There is some overlap between Bisbey’s book and Ana Alejandra Robles Ruiz’s El arcoíris de la disidencia: novela gay en México (Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas: Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas, 2019), strictly in relation to the analy sis of Zapata, Calva, and Blanco, although not in terms of the focus on humor. The careful attention to literary texts makes Bisbey’s study dif er ent from other monographs that center queer Mexican culture and per for mance, such as Laura G. Gutiérrez’s Performing Mexicanidad: Vendidas y Cabareteras on the Transnational Stage (University of Texas Press, 2010) or the expansive bibliography in Spanish by Antonio Marquet. Bisbey is to be commended for this very successful and very generative book.
