Fernanda Melchor recommends

The Trial of Anna Thalberg (2024)
Eduardo Sangarcía
"A novel that can be read with great emotion and great suspense, written with impressive formal virtuosity."

The Queens of Sarmiento Park (2022)
Camila Sosa Villada
"A beautiful novel, moving, disturbing, raw and honest. In skilfully rendered language, charged with poetic energy, it takes us deep into the world of trans prostitution and explores the violent and tender bonds that unite the women who inhabit it."

Dogs of Summer (2022)
Andrea Abreu
"Bold, dazzling, hilarious. Andrea Abreu is a lively meteorite in the landscape of Hispanic literature."
