'An ode to New York City's queer and trans immigrant community...
Ojeda, a Chilean American writer, brings sincerity and dark humor
to tales of drug addiction, prison life at Rikers Island and a
five-time beauty pageant winner, drawing from personal experience
as a trans performer, sex worker and undocumented immigrant' New
York Times 'Can't get enough of Pose? Then Las Biuty Queens will be
your new fave read... Ivan Monalisa Ojeda sparkles as one of 2021's
boldest new writers' Cosmopolitan 'The American dream as seen from
the height of a good pair of heels' Pedro Almodovar Las Biuty
Queens: a group of trans Latinx immigrant friends who walk the
streets of New York, smoke crystal meth, compete in beauty
contests, look for clients on their impossibly high heels and fall
prey to increasingly cruel immigration policies. Drawing from
his/her own perspective as a trans performer, sex worker and
undocumented immigrant, acclaimed Chilean writer Ivan Monalisa
Ojeda shines a light on a group of friends trying to survive the
dark side of the American Dream and introduces readers to an
unfamiliar, glittering and violent New York City that will draw
them in and swallow them whole. 'This is New York, full of beauty
and pain - turn away at your own peril' Nick Flynn, author of
Another Bullshit Night in Suck City 'You can't just read this book;
you bathe in its grit, the resilience of its characters and, most
of all, its beauty. Stunning' Jose Antonio Vargas, author of Dear
America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen
