An intense and unforgettable autobiographical story, featuring the key elements and inspirations of Camila Sosa, the new Latin American literary storm.

With rage and poetry, this is the stark account of Camila Sosa Villada's own life, of her origins, of her painful childhood ―a clandestine woman's body whipped by her father's alcoholic fury―, of her experience as a transvestite who knows prostitution, but also success in the theater, and from this the exercise of writing, which can only be radical, intense, in search of an impossible reparation:

«I write so that a story can be known. The story of my transvestism, of my family, of my childhood sadness, of all that premature sadness that was my family, my father's alcoholism, my mother's shortcomings. The moves that separated me forever from my friends, from the atmosphere of my rooms, from the habits of backyards, from the safety of a hiding place. I write to be able to share the images that populated my childhood. Also to share my family's struggle against poverty, a struggle that devastated us and sickened us with resentment, heartbreak, and indifference, everyone against everyone.»
