Octavio R. González
Octavio R. González teaches transatlantic modernism and literary queer studies at Wellesley College. His monograph, Misfit Modernism: Queer Forms of Double Exile in the Early Twentieth-Century Novel, is currently under review. González’s scholarship appears or is forthcoming in Ariel, Modern Fiction Studies, Cultural Critique and ASAP/Journal, as well as in edited collections including Cambridge University Press’s American Literature in Transition: 1960–1970 (‘Toward Stonewall’) and American Gay Autobiography (‘Post-Gay Memoir’). In his spare time, besides watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, González is at work on a second poetry manuscript, tentatively titled ‘The Wingless Hour’. His first, The Book of Ours, was a selection of the Letras Latinas series at the University of Notre Dame (Momotombo Press, 2009; www.tianguis.biz). A sonnet from the second collection was recently selected for Lambda Literary’s ‘Poetry Spotlight.’
