Reading guide

Who it's for
For adult readers interested in contemporary Argentine writing and in stories of the trans community told from within, in a book that mixes chronicle, fairy tale and horror. It deals with violence and prostitution head-on.
Why people still read it
In 2020 it received the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize awarded by the Guadalajara Book Fair; it also won Madame Figaro's Grand Prix de l'Héroïne and the Finestres bookshop's prize for Spanish-language fiction. Critics and readers both took to it; it has appeared in several translations, and Armando Bó is adapting it as a television series.

Written with the help of AI from Open Library, todostuslibros, and Wikipedia, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
