I am a fool for wanting you (Andanzas Collection) (Spanish Edition)

The new book by the author of "Las malas" confirms her as a dazzling writer. Stories in which the thin line that separates reality from the prodigious fades away. In the midst of the 90s, a woman earns a living as a rental girlfriend for gay men. In a Harlem smokehouse, a Latina transvestite intimately meets none other than Billie Holiday. A group of rugby players haggle the price of a night of sex and receive their deserved punishment in return. Nuns, grandmothers, children, and dogs are never what they seem. The nine stories that make up this book are inhabited by extravagant and deeply human characters who resist the ominousness of the world in equally strange ways. "Soy una tonta por quererte" confirms that Camila Sosa Villada is one of the most powerful and original voices in contemporary literature. With a dazzling and daring imagination, she is capable of speaking the language of a victim of the Mexican Inquisition and constructing a dystopian universe where the transgender existence takes revenge. Her unmatched style transcends the boundaries between reality and magic, honoring the oral tradition with fluency and solidity.
