La Virgen Cabeza
Slum Virgin
La Virgen Cabeza is the debut novel by Argentine writer Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, published in 2009 by Eterna Cadencia. The plot tells the story of Cleopatra—a travesti who is revered as a saint in a slum in Buenos Aires after she begins to communicate with the Virgin Mary—and her love affair with Qüity, a reporter from a sensationalist media outlet. Among the themes explored in the book are popular religion, social exclusion, political corruption, violence, and sexual diversity, several of which the author would return to in later works.Wikipedia →
