Las malas

When she arrived in Córdoba city to study at the university, Camila Sosa Villada was one night, scared to death, to spy on the transvestites of the Sarmiento Park and found her first place of belonging in the world. The Bad is a rite of passage, a fairy tale and horror, a group portrait, an explosive manifesto, a guided tour of the author's imagination and a chronicle unlike any other. The two trans facets that most repel and terrify well-thinking society converge in their DNA: the transvestite fury and the party of not being part of the norm. Marguerite Duras, Wislawa Szymborska and Carson McCullers coexist in her literary voice. In a hostile urban environment, Camila narrates the life of a community of transvestites in Córdoba, Argentina.
