Description
Fiction. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Young Adult. Art. Translated by Alexis Almeida. "Dalia Rosetti's SUEÑOS Y PESADILLAS reads like some fast and furious combination of Kathy Acker, The Ramones, and a sexy, errant Lives of the Saints. Blood and Guts at the Rock and Roll High School. But this is a Catholic high school inhabited by molesting nuns and angry sexy virgins whose extreme devotion to delinquent saints drives them into competitive, violent, sexual explorations. This is a picaresque that upturns the Latin American novel, Catholicism, and the quest story all at once, and leaves us simultaneously panting to keep up and begging for more."—Veronica Gonzalez Peña
