pstrongI urge you, read Alana S. Portero's emBad Habit emto fully grasp the degree of adversity, pain, and danger endured by those growing up trans. -Pedro AlmodvarstrongppstrongCombining the raw realism and vulnerability of emShuggie Bainem and emDetransition, Babyem with the poignant sensibility of Pedro Almodvar, a staggering coming-of-age novel deeply rooted in the struggles of a trans woman growing up in Madrid.strongppAnchored by the voice of its sweet and defiant narrator, emBad Habitem casts a trans woman's trying youth as a heartfelt odyssey. Raised in an animated yet impoverished blue-collar neighborhood, Alana S. Portero's protagonist struggles to find her place. As the city around her changes-the heroin epidemic that ravages Madrid through the '80s and '90s, rallying calls of worker solidarity and the pulsing beat of the city's night scene- she becomes increasingly detached from the world and, most crucially, herself.ppYet through her eyes, the streets and people of Madrid are illuminated by a poetry absent from everyday life. And by this guiding light she begins to plot her own course, from Margarita, the local trans woman whose unspoken kinship both captivates and frightens her, to Jay, her first love and source of an inevitable heartbreak, to the irrepressible diva Caramel. As she forges ahead, she sets her compass to a personal north star endeavoring to find herself. But with each step forward, she is confronted by a violence she doesn't yet know how to counter in this exciting, often terrifying, world each choice is truly a matter of life and death. ppWith her first novel, Alana S. Portero strikingly underscores the ties between gender and class, the search for identity, and the power of sisterhood and community. Gentle but blistering, emBad Habitem is a mesmerizing story of self-realization that speaks to the outsider in all of us. ppTranslated from the Spanish by Mara Faye Lethemp
