Beskrivelse af The Queens Of Sarmiento Park
Auntie Encarna's is the queerest boarding house in the world.For Camila, it is a refuge, and the raggle-taggle band of queens who gather there are like family. At night they dress up and head out to Sarmiento Park to earn money. They stand together in the cold, sharing stories and a hip flask of whiskey, waiting for a car to slow down.Until, one freezing evening, everything changes. Auntie Encarna hears crying in the bushes and wades in to investigate. When she finds an abandoned baby boy, she will hear no arguments: she is bringing him home to care for him. Life for Camila and the others will never be the same again.With a cast of larger-than-life, unforgettable characters, The Queens of Sarmiento Park combines brutal, unflinching realism with flourishes of surrealism to tell a story about the clash of hope with oppression, prejudice and fear. Camila Sosa Villada was born in 1982 in La Falda (Córdoba, Argentina). She is a writer, actress, and singer, and previously earned a living as a sex worker, street vendor and maid. Her first novel, The Queens of Sarmiento Park, won the Premio Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the Grand Prix de l'Héroïne Madame Figaro.Kit Maude is a translator based in Buenos Aires.
