Los grandes creadores LGTB del siglo XX como nunca antes te los habían contado.¿Sabías que Tórtola Valencia, una de las bailarinas más famosas del primer tercio del siglo XX, tuvo que adoptar a su novia para que pudiera heredar y ahora estan enterradas como madre e hija en un cementerio de Barcelona? ¿Y que Luis Cernuda, uno de los grandes de la generacion del 27, escribio Poemas para un cuerpo inspirado en un culturista mexicano del que se enamoro? ¿A que tampoco sabias que Francis Bacon, uno de los pintores britanicos mas importantes del siglo XX, murio en Madrid porque vino a España a encontrarse con un novio o que Carmen Conde, primera mujer en ingresar en la Real Academia de la Lengua Española, compartio gran parte de su vida con otra mujer?Esta es tan solo una pequeña muestra de los nombres que podras encontrar en las paginas de este ensayo pulgativo que, con un estilo agil y directo, pretende darle su lugar a unos artistas que tuvieron que esconderse debido a su disidencia sexual o bien arriesgarse a sufrir las consecuencias de vivirla en libertad. Y es que biografias como la de Gil de Biedma, Miguel de Molina o Mari Trini, entre otras, nos serviran para reconstruir parte de la memoria cultural disidente del siglo XX, ademas de para demostrar que los rebeldes del deseo, esos que tuvieron que enfrentarse a las normas sociales establecidas, siempre han estado ahi.

In 2022, in response to the killing of Mahsa Jina Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in police custody after being arrested for not wearing her hijab, thousands of Iranians - mostly women - took to the streets in protest. Fatemeh Jamalpour had just returned to the country after working in London, and despite the threat of imprisonment or death for her work as a journalist, joined the throngs of people fighting to topple Irans religious extremist regime. Across the globe, Nilo Tabrizy, who emigrated from Iran with her family and was raised in Canada, was covering the protests and state violence in Iran, knowing that spotlighting the women on the frontlines and the systemic injustice of the Iranian government meant she would not be able to safely return to Iran in the future. Though they had only met once in person, Nilo and Fatemeh corresponded constantly, often through encrypted platforms in order to protect Fatemehs privacy and security. As the protests continued to unfold, the sense of sisterhood they shared led them to embark on an effort to document the spirit and legacy of the movement, and the history, geopolitics, and influences that led to this point. At once deeply personal and assiduously reported, For the Sun After Long Nights offers two perspectives on what it means, as a journalist, to cover the stories that are closest to ones heart-both from the frontlines and from afar.
