Title: Faltas
Subtitle: Letters to Everyone in My Hometown Who Isn't My Rapist
Description: **From legendary activist and Pose actress Cecilia Gentili comes the groundbreaking debut of a transgender Latina childhood that re-orders the field of LGBTQ+ memoir**

In these hilarious and heartbreaking letters, Cecilia Gentili reinvents the trans memoir, putting the confession squarely between the writer and her enemies, paramours and friends. Writing to childhood figures such as her rapist’s daughter, her father’s mistress, her best friend, and her mother, Gentili probes deeply into the bitter cruelty, buried secrets, and delicious gossip of a small town. Is she here for revenge, or forgiveness? Both! And more! A story of sex, theft, murder, motherhood, and outrageous fashion choices, Faltas is a beautiful, messy meditation on what it takes to heal, or even grow.
