Totally about Lomeli being bi, the context is undeniably sexual. I do agree it's a bit stacked on, but also is the intersexual pope in the last pages. Yeah there were hints but you could say the hints about BenĂtez are also the hints about Lomeli being bisexual. There's a sensual verve in describing him. I understand this is subjective but I don't mean anything explicitly by it, it's just that the narrative voice calls attention to some character's physical attractiveness, in a way that puts Lomeli in evidence. Put side by side how Lomeli sees Vincent vs Agnes and it hits pretty the same (youthful body vs indomitable blue eyes). He's just more explicit with Agnes because she's a woman, but in the innuendo, I think Vincent hits hornier. Actually I posted that section where he wonders about BenĂtez' ink like hair in my status and a guy friend asked me if I was reading a fanfic lol. And this also happens with Adeyemi (the cologne, the breath on his neck..., this is chapter one). And it's not a writer's tic, other characters don't get this treatment (Tremblay doesn't, Tedesco is described unappealing). The author is trying to say something, and he's not spelling it out, but he also doesn't want to leave it implied, but also the elderly cardinal is not gonna call himself bisexual. How else is a character this religious going to say such a thing? This novel is definitely not perfect xd but it makes sense that Lomeli is bisexual, it both enhances the themes of the book and it makes easier to portray and at the same time ignore the hints about BenĂtez... And also it's hot.
