| Synopsis | Description With the name Leonardo on her back and an androgynous aesthetic, the main character comes to Tijuana, scammed by a group of traffickers. Baptized as Monica and sheltered by Rosy, a kind of adoptive mother, she feels fulfilled and learns the tricks of her new world: a place full of betrayals, happiness, euphoria and addictions. A couple of years later, Mónica will go from the security of hotels and inns to the hostility of the streets and the Jungle, the most sordid and unknown place in Tijuana. With her dry body and her mother's voice in mind, she manages to lick her wounds and return home. Her way back will be a viacrucis, the arrival, a blessing. All this, the true beginning. This body of mine is an honest and scatterbraines novel, full of humor and music, love and sisterhood, that still leaves space for pain and hatred. It is full of drugs, danger and hypocrisy; of oil injections, sequins and high heels; of sex on street corners, hotels and virtual spaces. Uri Bleier writes a novel that smells like the streets, tastes like the beach and sounds like cumbia; a story that his character gallops with all her fierceness and tenderness. «Uri Bleier investigates, listens, spoons and gathers each voice, each character, each scene. Pure sweet and bitter poison." -Sabina Urraca |
