An intense and unforgettable autobiographical story, with the references and keys to the writing of Camila Sosa, the new Latin American literary hurricane.

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

«I write so that a story is known. The story of my travestism, of my family, of my sadness in childhood, of all that premature sadness that was my family, my dad's alcoholism, my mom's shortcomings. The moves that separated me forever from friends, from the atmosphere of my rooms, from the habit of the courtyards, from the safety of a hiding place. I write to be able to say the images that filled my childhood. Also to tell the struggle of my family against poverty, a fight that devastated us and made us sick with resentments and lovelessness and indifference, everyone against everyone.»
