Rocky Rivera arrives in the U.S. from the Philippines the day that Jimi Hendrix dies. So begins a blazing coming-of-age story suffused with the tensions of immigration which finds Rocky moving from the counter-culture in 1960s San Francisco to the extravagant music scene in Manhattan of the 1980s.
The Gangster of Love tells the story of the Rivera family as they make their new life in the States, all the while haunted by the memory of the father & the homeland they left behind. Among its members are Rocky's haughty mother, who has impulsively left her father; Voltaire, her brother, prone to heavy depression & odd friendships with strangers; & Rocky herself, unsure about sex & worshipful of her boyfriend, the guitar-playing Elvis Chang, who must learn to accept reality amidst the myths & lures of American success & idolatry.
