| Summary: | A rich and moving epistolary memoir about transgender childhood, sexual trauma, motherhood and a young queer life in 1970s Argentina. In these hilarious and heartbreaking letters, Cecilia Gentili reinvents the trans memoir, putting the confession squarely between the writer and her enemies, paramours and friends. Writing to childhood figures such as her rapist's daughter, her father's mistress, her best friend and her mother, Gentili probes deeply into the bitter cruelty, buried secrets and delicious gossip of a small town. Is she here for revenge, or forgiveness? Both! And more! A story of sex, theft, murder, motherhood and outrageous fashion choices, Faltas is a beautiful, messy meditation on what it takes to heal and even grow. |
