To run for your life and be naked, literally and figuratively; to be pursued by your past, eyed and tracked by those you left behind; to be in a foreign environment, all but penniless and stripped of privilege; to be queer and working class to boot; to feel the burden of loss keenly; and to know that somehow you have to start over, create a new life, connect with others and construct a home for yourself, from scratch, never mind you're completely clueless as to how--finding refuge in that storm is what Ojo is about. It surveys the many challenges that humans are confronted with as they face adulthood, the traditions and laws that are by and large the product of old religion. Ojo is a celebration of possibilities, of novel ways of creating a world, even as the old ways continue to bear down and haunt a person. But most of all it's a story of finding love in the 1980's in the west, in cowboy country, at the beginning of the HIV pandemic. Ojo is the second volume in the Eldorado Trilogy.
