ORREGO, Jaime A. That it may Never Dawn: Bullies and Homosexuals in the Medellin from Aire de tango. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.8, pp.87-103. ISSN 2145-8987.
Manuel Mejía Vallejo's Aire de tango (1973) presents the Guayaquil neighborhood as a microcosm and a reflection of transgressions brought on by the process of modernization in Medellin during the first half of the twentieth century. However, the disintegrated environment that appears in the novel is the background of another fragmentation, that of Jairo, its main character. Along with the cultural crisis that unfolds in this neighborhood, there is also a crisis in which Jairo's sexuality is subjected to the same fragmentation that not only reveals manhood as something elusive and unattainable, but also the homosexual desire.
