In a hostile urban environment, Camila Sosa narrates from within the life of a community of transvestites in Córdoba, Argentina. When she arrived in Córdoba to study at the university, Camila Sosa Villada went one night, scared to death, to spy on the transvestites in Parque Sarmiento and found her first place of belonging in the world.The Bad Ones is a rite of passage, a fairy tale and a horror story, a group portrait, an explosive manifesto, a guided tour of the author's imagination and a chronicle different from all of the rest. The two trans facets that most repel and terrify the well-thought-out society converge in the DNA of this book: transvestite fury and the celebration of being a transvestite. Marguerite Duras, Wislawa Szymborska and Carson McCullers coexist in her literary voice. The latest phenomenon in Argentine literature, translated into German, French, Norwegian and Croatian.
