Reviews for The Night is Young
"This timely work offers a remarkable look at the sexual lives of both heterosexuals and homosexuals in contemporary Mexico. Hector Carrillo enters the complex worlds of masculinity, marriage, and dating in that country, and provides a rich and persuasive analysis of how AIDS and HIV have vastly transformed sexual culture." - Gilbert Herdt, author of Same Sex, Different Cultures
