Iván Monalisa Ojeda,Pedro Almodóvar

Las Biuty Queens

unavailable
Drawing from his/her own experience as a trans performer, sex worker, and undocumented immigrant, Iván Monalisa Ojeda chronicles the lives of Latinx queer and trans immigrants in New York City. Whether she is struggling with addiction, clashing with law enforcement, or is being subjected to personal violence, each character choses her own path of defiance, often responding to her fate with irreverent dark humor. What emerges is the portrait of a group of friends who express unquestioning solidarity and love for each other, and of an unfamiliar, glittering and violent, New York City that will draw listeners in and swallow them whole.



Iván Monalisa's unique narrative talent is on display as he/she artfully transforms the language of the streets, making it his/her own—rich with rhythm and debauchery. This bold new collection positions Ojeda as a fresh and necessary voice within the canon of world literature.



Contains mature themes.
