BOOK CHAPTER
Claudia Cavallin Calanche, Parallel Worlds Connecting Multiple Identities: Transgender Existence in Camila Sosa Villada's Bad Girls. «The Liverpool Handbook of Trans Literature» (co-edited with Douglas Vakoch). Liverpool Press 2025.

Bad Girls (2022) by Camila Sosa Villada describes a diverse family construction that restructures the linearity of existence connected with parallel worlds that unite multiple identities: Two genders in the same body; two spaces—the park and the house—as the only route of traveling from reality to Science Fiction, and two ways of using the identity of their bodies, changing from day to night. Following the gender theory of Judith Butler, Virgine Despentes, and Cecilia Gentili, gender discussion is present in this novel as a literary space where categories move by factors such as class, ethnicity, and sexuality. Here, a parallel world is constructed using the resistance of a cultural imposition of gender identities. In this novel, to be trans is to live in several temporal and spatial dimensions, where identity connects through the feelings of a little boy named 'Twinkle Eyes,' who can transgress all borders and spaces.
