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."

"An impressive work that addresses complicated topics such as personal and family life, machismo through generations, and how it is addressed."
