Torres solidified that his writing wasn't just bringing queer history to the forefront of culture, but his conviction was to be remembered on the right side of it for all people, no matter how controversial.
Throughout his career, he has crafted poignant lyricism and daring, insightful prose to envision a better world.
Such is seen in an essay he wrote for the New Yorker, in which he assists his homeless, Trump-supporting brother at the laundromat before checking him into a cash-only motel for a week.
His highly celebrated novel Blackouts transmutes his ability to convey the stark, poetic truth into a radical queer phenomenon that blends history, fantasy, and the experimental.
