Santiago, a two-time winner of the Brazilian national book award, sets his sensational story of sexual scandal and political intrigue in the Brazilian exile community in New York City in the late 1960s. Stella Manhattan is an electrifying adventure story about a young gay Brazilian man trying to make a go of it in New York.

Author has been a pioneer in the development of concepts crucial to the discourse of contemporary critical and cultural theory, especially postcolonial theory. This book translates into English many of his seminal essays and, in the process, introduces the thought of one of Brazil's critics and theorists of the late twentieth century.
