Bad Hombres

Autor Pola Oloixarac Traducere de Adam Morris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 apr 2027
Argentinian author Pola Oloixarac takes on cancel culture in this disruptive, incisive, and brilliantly controversial piece of autofiction.

Pola Oloixarac has been approached numerous times by women bent on punishing men, including their former lovers. They denounce these men in scathing terms and demand that the author pick a side: either with her fellow women or with the "bad hombres" in their lives, as there can be no middle ground. Fascinated and perplexed, Oloixarac considers a system with the power to cast suspicion on virtually anyone, including herself.

Bad Hombres asks the questions we are often too uncomfortable to consider: What are the limitations of 21st-century feminism? Is there a 'right' and a 'wrong' way to react to claims of sexual violence? And when, if ever, is revenge justifiable?

Recenzii

An audacious book that is seductive precisely because it dares to shock
A novel that resists the tyranny of political correctness
A brash, witty incursion into the tangled web of masculine cancellation and feminist contradictions
Praise for Mona
Sly, bitter, and smart
In a literary culture swamped by clenched, worthy fiction and the writer as activist, her satirist's misanthropy and taste for provocation are a tonic
