A boundary-shattering actress finds herself sick to death of her own success story

“A single travesti is enough to undermine the foundations of a house, undo the knots of a commitment, break a promise, renounce a life,” reflects the unforgettable actress at the heart of Camila Sosa Villada’s slyly subversive new novel—travesti being Sosa Villada’s chosen term for trans women like herself, a reclaimed slur that celebrates the transgressive spirit. From tough rural beginnings, the actress has made no compromises in pursuit of her art, yet somehow she’s arrived at a time of triumph, not only in her thriving stage career but with all the other trappings of success: a beautiful home, an adoring husband, an adored child. So why does she feel so stifled and unfulfilled? When a family road trip to her hometown takes some unsettling detours into the past, an oppressive equilibrium threatens to implode.

Sexy, funny, deeply moving, and unapologetic in its ambivalence, A Domestication reinvents the tragicomedy of domestic dysfunction for us all.

Praise for Bad Girls:

“Beautifully written…a stunning meditation on gender, our bodies, and the ties that bind.”—NPR

“A fantastical world that is equal parts violent and tender. In beautifully rendered language, this debut novel…challenges contemporary ideas of gender, sexuality, and love with the magical touch of a fairy tale.” —Wall Street Journal

“A wise, uncommon, and bewitching storyteller.” —Esquire

“This fantastical story about the power of chosen family is entrancing.” —BuzzFeed
