“Chulito” a term of endearment in the latino community meaning little cutie, is the title of a book by Bronxite Charles Rice-Gonzalez – co-founder and executive director of Bronx Academy of Art and Dance and explores what it means to be gay and coming of age in the South Bronx.

Read what Maite Junco of the Daily News has to say about this exciting novel. It’s wonderful to know that Hunts Point is in the nation consciousness for things other than prostitution and poverty.
