Las Malas es una novela que te seduce, te envuelve y termina por hacerte parte de su mundo. Un mundo cruel e implacable que cuenta con pequeños oasis y refugios de esperanza. La escritura de Camila Sosa Villada es una mezcla entre lo autobiográfico y el realismo mágico. Un realismo que narra las atrocidades e injusticias del mundo, de una manera inverosímil pero nunca cínica, por el contrario, siempre directa y con crudeza.

The book is a disparate collection of incidents and characters (many of them barely scketched, and gone as fast as they appeared) with elements of magical realism (headless men, a werewolf, a woman turning into a bird).
It is a fairly familiar canvas of queer misery drawn in impressionistic touches that didn't quite coalesce into a complete and compelling picture for me. Perhaps because everything here is so transcient, and we don't learn enough about the few recurring characters to like and care about them much.
The language can be very poetic at times, though.

A linguagem é minha. É meu direito, uma parte dela me pertence. Veio a mim, eu não a procurei; portanto, é minha. Minha mãe a herdou, meu pai a desperdiçou. Vou destruí-la, adoecê-la, confundi-la, perturbá-la, vou despedaçá-la e fazê-la renascer tantas vezes quantas forem necessárias, um renascimento a cada coisa bem feita neste mundo.
um dos livros mais lindos que eu já li em toda minha vida!
