Dead Girls
$15.80 online at Bookshop.org
Selva Almada tackles gender violence in a hybrid work that follows the tradition of In Cold Blood, evoking with firsthand knowledge the heat and dust of provincial Argentina, its secrets and conflicting loyalties. She tells of three young women murdered in the early 1980s as the country celebrated a return to democracy, deaths never brought to justice and long before femicide was a widely known term: nineteen-year-old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; fifteen-year-old Maria Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; twenty-year-old Sarita Mundin, whose disfigured body washed up on a river bank. Almada weaves these and other cases into a portrait with global resonance. This is not a police chronicle or a thriller, though there is investigation, mystery, and suspense.
