Bad Girls (Spanish Edition)

In a hostile urban environment, Camila Sosa tells the story of a community of transvestites in Córdoba, Argentina. When she arrived in Córdoba to study at the university, Camila Sosa Villada went one night, terrified, to spy on the transvestites in Parque Sarmiento and found her first sense of belonging. The Bad Ones is a coming-of-age story, a blend of fairy tale and horror, a portrait of a group, an explosive manifesto, a guided tour of the author's imagination, and a unique chronicle. This book brings together the two trans facets that society tends to reject and fear: transvestite rage and the joy of being a transvestite. Camila Sosa Villada's literary voice combines influences from Marguerite Duras, Wislawa Szymborska, and Carson McCullers. This newest sensation in Argentine literature has been translated into German, French, Norwegian, and Croatian.
