"When she arrived in Córdoba city to study at the university, Camila Sosa Villada went one night, terrified, to spy on the transvestites at Parque Sarmiento and found her first place of belonging in the world. Las malas is a rite of passage, a fairy tale and a horror story, a group portrait, an explosive manifesto, a guided tour of its author’s imagination, and a chronicle unlike any other. Its DNA combines the two trans facets that most repel and terrify the respectable society: transvestite fury and the celebration of being transvestite."--Back cover.
