Cabezón Cámara's 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 Erauso--a 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"
Argentine writer and founder of the feminist movement Ni una menos Gabriela Cabezón Cámara turns Argentine history on its head with a trans main character and transformation at its core--this remarkable novel is powerful, sensual and imaginative.

Sensuous and searing--Readers will be riveted by this queer anticolonial picaresque...-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
If there's any writer strong enough to start a revolution, it's Gabriela Cabezón Cámara. And I'll be right there beside her.--Gabriela Wiener
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
Cabezón Cámara's entrancing poetry reminds us how magical and frankly unpleasant it is to live through history.-- "The New York Times"
Gabriela Cabezón Cámara's 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
So sharp, so urgent, so brave. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara 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
