"Sensuous and searinga queer anticolonial picaresque." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A bold and compassionate reimagining of an extraordinary queer life." -- Financial Times "Cabezón Cįmaras third novel published in English, fluidly translated by Myers, is a polyphonic interpretation of the incomparable adventures of an enigmatic, seventeenth-century conquistador-esque figure whose chosen moniker was Antonio de Erausoa seamless, fever-dreamy exposé of inhumane colonialism, religiosity, and genocide, revealing the extreme resilience necessary to claim selfhood outside expected, mandated norms." -- Terry Hong - Booklist (starred review) "Argentine writer and founder of the feminist movement Ni una menos Gabriela Cabezón Cįmara turns Argentine history on its head with a trans main character and transformation at its corethis remarkable novel is powerful, sensual and imaginative. " -- Karla Strand - Ms. Magazine "Gabriela Cabezón Cįmaras writing is singular in the Spanish language: an intrepid pulse that shakes and disarms us in the face of the wordless power, both formidable and innocent, of the jungle and the creatures it portrays." -- Fernanda Melchor "She writes with the astuteness of an experienced researcher and the vivid rhythms of a poet. The worlds of her books are revealed to us through a playful, erotic, festive sense of curiosity, one that always leads us to good harbor." -- Cristina Rivera Garza "If there's any writer strong enough to start a revolution, it's Gabriela Cabezón Cįmara. And I'll be right there beside her." -- Gabriela Wiener "So sharp, so urgent, so brave. Gabriela Cabezón Cįmara is one of the most authentic voices writing in Spanish today, and among her many talents is one that's especially hard to find: not only does she challenge and incite us, not only does she confront the darkness, but she also gives us in return the subversive courage to think of ourselves as more human, more alive, and more luminous than ever." -- Samanta Schweblin "Cabezón Cįmaras entrancing poetry reminds us how magical and frankly unpleasant it is to live through history." -- The New York Times
