Premio Herralde de Novela, 2018
García Morales, Cristina
They are four: Nati, Patri, Marga and Àngels. They are related, have different degrees of what the Administration and medicine consider "intellectual disability" and share a supervised floor. They have spent a good part of their lives in RUDIS and CRUDIS (urban and rural residences for people with intellectual disabilities). But above all, they are women with an extraordinary capacity to face the conditions of domination that they have had to suffer. His is the oppressive and bastard Barcelona: the city of squatters, the Platform of People Affected by the Mortgage, anarchist athenaeums and politically correct art. This is a radical novel in its ideas, in its form and in its language. A scream novel, a politicizing novel that crosses voices and texts: a fanzine that puts the neoliberal system in check, the minutes of a libertarian assembly, the statements before a court that intends to sterilize one of the protagonists, the autobiographical novel that write one of them with the Easy Reading technique ... This book is a battlefield: against the monogamous and white heteropatriarchy, against the institutional and capitalist rhetoric, against the activism that uses the clothing of the "alternative" to prop up the status quo. But it is also a novel that celebrates the body and sexuality, the desire of and among women, the dignity of those who are marked with the stigma of disability and the transgressive and revolutionary capacity of language. It is above all a portrait - visceral, vibrant, combative and feminist - of contemporary society with the city of Barcelona as the setting.
