VINNARE AV NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FÖR ÖVERSATT LITTERATUR I USA NOMINERAD TILL BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE
Djupt inne i Misiones djungel sitter en bruten soldat och skriver ett brev till sin faster på andra sidan havet. Med nöd och näppe har han undkommit galgen efter att ha deserterat från det spanska imperiets kolonialarmé och gömmer sig nu bland aporna i den prunkande grönskan tillsammans med två guaraniflickor som han räddat ur slaveri. Tiden har kommit för honom att teckna ned sitt osannolika levnadsöde -- att vittna, förklara och bekänna.
Flickorna i apelsinlunden är den argentinska författaren Gabriela Cabezón Cámaras fiktionalisering av en av den spanska kolonialhistoriens mest mytomspunna gestalter: Catalina de Erauso, nunnan som rymde från ett baskiskt kloster för att leva som man och delta i erövringen av Amerika.
GABRIELA CABEZÓN CÁMARA (född 1968) har arbetat med allt från att sälja bilförsäkringar på gatan till kulturjournalistik. Flickorna i apelsinlunden är hennes fjärde roman, men den första på svenska. Den tilldelades National Book Award för översatt litteratur i USA 2025 och nominerades till det internationella Bookerpriset 2026.
HANNA NORDENHÖK är författare och översättare från spanska. Hon har översatt en lång rad framstående latinamerikanska författare till svenska, däribland Fernanda Melchor, Samanta Schweblin och Alia Tarbucco Zeràn.
"Så skarp, så angelägen, så modig. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara är en av de mest genuina rösterna i dagens spanskspråkiga litteratur." Samanta Schweblin
"Gabriela Cabezón Cámaras skrivande är unikt i den spanskspårkiga litteraturen: en orädd puls som skakar om och avväpnar oss inför djungelns och dess varelsers ordlösa makt, både mäktig och oskuldsfull." Fernanda Melchor
"En djärv och medkännande nytolkning av ett extraordinärt queerliv." Financial Times
"Flickorna i apelsinlunden är en magnifik fantasi och ett kraftprov i språkets oändliga, hallucinerande kraft." ur motiveringen till National Book Awards
"Lysande, vild, lyrisk och uppfinningsrik En levande och djärv berättelse som återerövrar historien genom själva språket." ur motiveringen till International Booker Prize

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATUREDeep in the wilds of the New World, Antonio de Erauso begins to write a letter to his aunt, the prioress of the Basque convent he escaped as a young girl. Since fleeing a dead-end life as a nun, he's become Antonio and undertaken monumental adventures: he has been a mule driver, shopkeeper, soldier, cabin boy, and conquistador; he has wielded his sword and slashed with his dagger. Now, caring for two Guaraní girls he rescued from enslavement, and hounded by the army he deserted, this protean protagonist contemplates one more metamorphosis, which just might save the new world from extinction…Based on the life of Antonio de Erauso, a real figure of the Spanish conquest, We Are Green and Trembling is a queer baroque satire and a historical novel that blends elements of the picaresque with surreal storytelling. Its rich and wildly imaginative language forms a searing criticism of conquest and colonialism, religious tyranny, and the treatment of women and indigenous people. It is a masterful subversion of Latin American history with a trans character at its center, finding in the rainforest a magical, surreal space where transformation is not only possible but necessary.

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 20201872. The pampas of Argentina. China is a young woman eking out an existence in a remote gaucho encampment. After her no-good husband is conscripted into the army, China bolts for freedom, setting off on a wagon journey through the pampas in the company of her new-found friend Liz, a settler from Scotland. While Liz provides China with a sentimental education and schools her in the nefarious ways of the British Empire, their eyes are opened to the wonders of Argentina’s richly diverse flora and fauna, cultures and languages, as well as to the ruthless violence involved in nation-building.This subversive retelling of Argentina’s foundational gaucho epic Martín Fierro is a celebration of the colour and movement of the living world, the open road, love and sex, and the dream of lasting freedom. With humour and sophistication, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara has created a joyful, hallucinatory novel that is also an incisive critique of national myths.

“Queer writing at its most exhilarating.” —Times Literary SupplementThe slums of Buenos Aires, the government, the mafia, the Virgin Mary, corrupt police, sex workers, thieves, drug dealers, and debauchery all combine in this sweeping novel deemed a ‘revelation for contemporary literature’ and ‘pure dynamite’ (Andrés Neuman, author of Traveller of the Century & Talking to Ourselves ).When the Virgin Mary appears to Cleopatra, she renounces sex work and takes charge of the shantytown she lives in, transforming it into a tiny utopia. Ambitious journalist Quity knows she’s found the story of the year when she hears about it, but her life is changed forever once she finds herself irrevocably seduced by the captivating subject of her article. Densely-packed, fast-paced prose, weaving slang and classical references, Slum Virgin refuses to whitewash the reality of the poor and downtrodden, and jumps deftly from tragedy to comedy in a way that has the reader laughing out loud.

La masculinidad se fundó en la idea de que el cuerpo del hombre se correspondía con el lugar del original, era principio de la materia, constituía su primera piel. No obstante, esta no siempre fue percibida como statu quo del cuerpo. Dicha ilusión de naturaleza, la idea de que el hombre ocupa el lugar de cuerpo neutro o, incluso, la percepción de que su cuerpo es un componente implícito o del todo ausente en la idea de la masculinidad, forma parte de un grupo de operaciones performativas que ha necesitado tiempo para perpetrarse. Drag Kings: arqueología crítica de masculinidades espectaculares en Latinx América se propone discutir el porvenir del género en el espacio desigual, plural y contradictorio que hemos llamado Latinx América. Partiendo del drag king show y de lo que proponemos como masculinidad espectacular —aquella masculinidad hiperbólica que usurpa el espacio de privilegio y centralidad que se le otorga a la masculinidad del hombre—, planteamos una sistemática arqueología de la puesta en escena de las muchas masculinidades y su capacidad de generar crisis en el heterosexismo, máquina de producción de sentidos a la que se le ha encomendado la programación binaria del género.
