Czyta:
“A single travesti is enough to undermine the foundations of a home, to undo the bonds of commitment, to break a promise, to turn your back on a life,” reflects the unforgettable actress at the heart of this slyly subversive novel—travesti being Camila Sosa Villada’s chosen term for trans women like herself, a reclaimed slur that celebrates the transgressive spirit. From tough rural beginnings, the actress has made no compromises in pursuit of her art, yet somehow she’s arrived at a time of triumph, with not only a thriving stage career but all the other trappings of success: a beautiful home, an adoring husband, an adored child. So why does she feel so stifled and unfulfilled? When a family road trip to the actress's hometown takes some unsettling detours into the past, the whole glittering edifice she's built for herself threatens to implode.
Sexy, funny, deeply moving, and unapologetic in its ambivalence, A Domestication reinvents the tragicomedy of domestic dysfunction for us all.

Opinie krytyków
Praise for A Domestication
“Sosa Villada's prose is miraculous—as precise and open as life itself, juggling humor, horror, and pleasure. In A Domestication she has once more expanded the canon.”—Bryan Washington, author of Palaver and Memorial
"With daring nerve and impeccable flair, A Domestication captures the bondage of a woman who belongs at once to everybody and no one, a brilliant travesti tormented by the bitter cudgel of love's fulfillment. I could not put this book down. Camila Sosa Villada is a supreme revelation.”—Bobuq Sayed, author of No God But Us
"I am such a fan of the legendary Camila Sosa Villada - her humor, her intelligence, her range. Nuanced, seductive, and profound, A Domestication points to deeper questions about the desires lying beneath our own performances of tenderness and indifference." —Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts
“Elegant, witty, cruel and delicious, A Domestication is thrilling to read - an amazing performance. Like all the great divas, Sosa Villada’s narrator knows and feels it all.”—Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick and The Four Spent the Day Together
Praise for Bad Girls:
“Beautifully written…a stunning meditation on gender, our bodies, and the ties that bind.”—NPR
“A fantastical world that is equal parts violent and tender. In beautifully rendered language, this debut novel…challenges contemporary ideas of gender, sexuality, and love with the magical touch of a fairy tale.” —Wall Street Journal
“A wise, uncommon, and bewitching storyteller.” —Esquire
“This fantastical story about the power of chosen family is entrancing.” —BuzzFeed
