The Magnificent Sisters Park (In Portuguese from Brazil)

A book of love and affection by Argentine author Camila Sosa Villada: when we finish the last page, we want the whole world to read it too! When she arrived in the city of Córdoba to study at university, Argentine author Camila Sosa Villada decided to go to Parque Sarmiento at night. She was terrified, thinking that the brutal verdict she had heard from her father could come true at any moment: "One day they will knock on this door to tell me that they found you dead, thrown in a ditch." For him, that was the only possible fate for a boy who dressed as a woman. Camila wanted to see the famous transvestites of the park, and there, in front of those women and the difficult reality they were subjected to, she was immediately welcomed and felt, for the first time in her life, that she had found her place of belonging in the world. The novel The Park of Magnificent Sisters is all of this: a rite of initiation, a fairy tale or a horror story, a portrait of a group identity, an explosive manifesto, a guided tour of the author's imagination. These pages bring together two facets of the trans community, facets that fascinate and repel societies around the world: trans fury and the celebration of being trans.Publisher: Tusquets; 1st edition (July 1, 2021)Language: EnglishPaperback: 208 pagesISBN-10: 655535402XISBN-13: 978-6555354027Dimensions: 22.4 x 15 x 1.4 cm
