En 1880, en Excellent, Idaho, Cobertizo es violado a punta de pistola por el hombre que esa misma noche asesinará a su madre india. Ida Richelieu, prostituta y alcaldesa del pueblo, se encargará desde entonces de su crianza. Historia de una educación y de una iniciación, El hombre que se enamoró de la luna persigue el camino místico de Cobertizo en busca de su propia identidad, un camino sembrado de falsas pistas. Una novela evocativa y carnal, que celebra la sexualidad en todas sus formas y manifestaciones, que no se detiene ante la violencia y que es, ante todo, una reflexión poética sobre la caída del lenguaje.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s New York, the narrative follows Will Parker, a shy young man grappling with his stutter and sexuality.

Amidst the burgeoning AIDS crisis and a violent park riot, Will's journey of self-discovery culminates in a powerful climax that profoundly impacts both him and the reader, exploring themes of love, identity, and resilience.
