About the Book

Cheryl está en la cuarentena, vive sola y es reservada. Por extraño que parezca, suele mantener conversaciones con cualquier recién nacido que se encuentra. Hace tiempo que trabaja en una empresa que mezcla videos de autodefensa femenina con el fitness, y ahora está enamorada de uno de los miembros del consejo de administración. Un día, Cheryl se ve obligada a acoger en su casa, y por un tiempo indeterminado, a Clee, la hija veinteañera de sus jefes. El antagonismo entre ambas, patente desde el principio, deriva en enfrentamientos físicos y violentos en los que Cheryl siempre es la víctima; un bullying doméstico consentido con connotaciones sexuales. En este marco surrealista, llega el día en que Clee confiesa estar embarazada y esto lo cambia todo. La aclamada cineasta, artista y escritora Miranda July nos presenta su primera novela. Un debut novelístico espectacular, lleno del universo excéntrico y surrealista por el que la autora ya ha sido reconocida. Una novela fascinante, llena de ternura y astutamente divertida que conecta emocionalmente al lector con comportamientos que se alejan de lo convencional. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The instant New York Times bestseller is "astonishing...In one novel, Miranda July tells us more about our universal need to be loved, and our ability to love and be loved, than most earthbound authors will in a lifetime" (Vanity Fair). In The First Bad Man, Miranda July tells the story of Cheryl, a vulnerable, uptight woman in her early forties who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat, unable to cry. Cheryl is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six; she also believes she has a profound connection with Phillip, a philandering board member at Open Palm, the women's self-defense studio where she has worked for twenty years. When Cheryl's bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter Clee can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl's eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Clee--the selfish, cruel blond bombshell--who teaches Cheryl what it means to love and be loved and, inadvertently, provides the solace of a lifetime. "Brilliant, hilarious, irreverent, piercing--The First Bad Man powers past sexual boundaries and gender identification into the surprising galaxy of primal connection" (O, The Oprah Magazine). This is a spectacularly original, unsettling, accomplished, and moving first novel with a tender and beguiling happy ending.
