Editor's Note:
Es este un libro raro, sobre un tema extraño, que se propone develar aquello que queda olvidado en la trastienda del relato oficial. No es un libro que se concentre en una minoría como un grupo aislado, sino que es reflejo de la forma de vida de una mayoría.El reconocido periodista Óscar Contardo nos sorprende esta vez con la historia de la homosexualidad en Chile, narrada con su pluma incisiva y sugerente. Su particular mirada nace de una acabada investigación que podría sintetizarse en la siguiente secuencia de palabras: sodomita, maricón, invertido, homosexual, gay. Cada una de ellas no solo representa un tipo humano, sino también una época y una distribución particular del poder.RARO transita por escenas y períodos que se van desplegando desde la sociedad desde la que zarparon los conquistadores españoles hasta el siglo XXI. Una princesa que siembra la duda sobre la sexualidad de su hermanastro para arrebatarle el trono; la historia de un oidor de la Real Audiencia recluido por las habladurías del pueblo; la de machis, hombres mapuches despreciados por los criollos por un aspecto que ellos consideraban femenino y amanerado. RARO describe las redadas policiales para capturar varones homosexuales en Valparaíso a principios del siglo XX y los allanamientos a discoteques cien años más tarde; asimismo cuenta el incidente que casi terminó con la carrera de un pianista en Australia y la hazaña de un partidario de la UP que defendió La Moneda el día del golpe, a pesar de haber sufrido el repudio de sus camaradas. También es el relato sobre la silenciosa desaparición de una generación de hombres víctimas del sida.RARO es, por último, una crónica histórica sobre la violencia, la vergüenza y el miedo.
