In the Name of Desire has been one of the most successful gay novels in Brazil since it was first released in Portuguese in the 1980s (Em Nome Do Desejo). This is its first translation into English, after almost four decades in print. The novel traces the remembrances of a man who returns to the seminary where he studied as a child. This visit, thirty years after his sudden departure, evokes stirring memories of his time there: his first love, nascent homosexual desire, the metaphorical agony of Catholic rituals, and the physical harm inflicted by peers and priests alike. As he revisits the halls, his memory wanders throughout the seminary, creating a narrative both liturgical and profane.
