520    "Gritty and unflinching, yet also tender, fantastical, and
       funny, a trans woman's coming-of-age tale about finding a 
       community among fellow outcasts. Born in the small 
       Argentine town of Mina Clavero, Camila is designated male 
       but begins to identify from an early age as a girl. She is
       well aware that she's different from other children and 
       reacts to her oppressive, poverty-stricken home life, with
       a cowed mother and abusive, alcoholic father, by acting 
       out-with swift consequences. Deeply intelligent, she 
       eventually leaves for the city to attend university, 
       slipping into prostitution to make ends meet. And in 
       Sarmiento Park, in the heart of Córdoba, she discovers the
       strange, wonderful world of the trans sex workers who 
       dwell there. Taken under the wing of Auntie Encarna, the 
       178-year-old eternal whose house shelters this 
       unconventional extended family, Camila becomes a part of 
       their stories-of a Headless Man who fled his country's 
       wars, a mute young woman who transforms into a bird, an 
       abandoned baby boy who brings a twinkle to your eye. 
       Camila Sosa Villada's extraordinary first novel is a rich,
       nuanced portrait of a marginalized community: their 
       romantic relationships, friendships and squabbles, 
       difficulties at work, aspirations and disappointments. It 
       bears witness to these lives constantly haunted by the 
       specter of death-by disease or more violent means at the 
       hands of customers, boyfriends, or the police-yet full of 
       passion, empathy, and insight"--|cProvided by publisher.
