Chilean Ivan Monalisa Ojeda's novel in stories offers a unique insight into the life of New York City's Latin American trans community. With cheeky and honest attitude, Monalise explores the life of Latin American transsexuals and transvestites who walk the streets of the Big Apple, smoke crystal meth, attend beauty contests, look for clients on huge heels, fall prey to the new immigration policies of Trump's America. A world where laughter, death, survival and love are intertwined, in a city that can offer hope and devastation - often in the space of the same day.
