An "exuberant [and] smart" novel of love, family, the fluidity of identity, and the mysteries of the past (Publishers Weekly).
Set amid the outsider worlds of twenty-first century downtown New York, 1990s Los Angeles, and 1940s Mexico City, Like Son is the not-so-simple story of a love-blindness shared between a father and a son. Born a bouncing baby girl named Francisca Cruz, Frank Cruz is now a post-punk thirty-year-old who has inherited his dead father's wanderlust, unrequited love, and hyperbolic tendencies.
