Descripción
"Today we are here, in line, same as always, one right next to the other. Hating each other, but joined by the same circumstances."
Chiara is a trans woman that dreams of a happy future with the man she loves. Rara is a sex worker that wants to go back to her hometown and bury her dead. Katerine with no h is a mother trying desperately to free her husband. They all exist at the margins of society and are related by a singular routine: on Sundays, they visit someone in jail. Their pilgrimage is shared by other Afro-Caribbean women like them, coming together in their weekly appointment to visit a son, a grandson, an ex-husband. And it's at that gathering point where this book comes to life. Through the stories that comprise the present volume--recipient of the Unpublished Works Grant for Afro-Colombian Authors, by the Ministry of Culture--Yurieth Romero digs into the world of these women, forever waiting. The result of her writing is a raw narrative and an act of resistance in the face of a peripheral violence that is also ours.
