About
Marcos Gonsalez is an author, essayist, scholar, and assistant professor of English living in New York City.

Marcos’ book of autotheory featuring literary criticism and cultural analysis, Pedro’s Theory, is out now with Melville House. The New York Times Book Review called Pedro’s Theory “thrilling”, “masterly”, and “appealingly telescopic” with a “strong, personal voice.” It received a starred review from Kirkus, which called it “a subtle, expertly written repudiation of the American dream in favor of something more inclusive and more realistic.” It has been longlisted for the 2021 Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize.
Pedro’s Theory is available for order at Bookshop, directly at the publisher, or wherever else books are sold.
