Description:

Una voz única en la literatura latinoamericana actual que sacude, con un mordaz talento narrativo, la escena trans de Nueva York.

Con una mirada descarada y honesta, Iván Monalisa Ojeda se sumerge en el universo travesti de las calles neoyorquinas. Los cuentos de este libro narran su vida y la de sus compañeras, transexuales latinoamericanas que hacen la calle, fuman crystal meth, participan en concursos de belleza, buscan clientes sobre altísimos tacones y son víctimas de las nuevas políticas de inmigración de Trump. Un mundo donde la risa, la supervivencia, la muerte y el amor se entreveran en una ciudad que fascina y acorrala a las protagonistas.

El talento narrativo de Iván Monalisa Ojeda, que juega con una lengua callejera llena de ritmo, libertad y frescura, lo sitúa como una voz sorprendente y particular en la literatura latinoamericana actual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A unique voice in modern Latin American literature that shakes the New York trans scene with biting storytelling talent.
 
With a shameless, honest perspective, Iván Monalisa Ojeda dives into the trans universe of New York. The stories in this book tell the story of his life and that of his friends, Latina transsexuals who walk the streets, smoke crystal meth, participate in beauty contests, look for clients on stilettos, and are victims of Trump's new immigration policies. A world where laughter, survival, death, and love intermingle in a city that fascinates and corners the protagonists.
 
Iván Monalisa Ojeda's storytelling talent, which plays with street language full of rhythm, freedom, and sass, positions him as a surprising, unique voice in current Latin American literature.
