'I urge you to read Bad Habit' PEDRO ALMODOVAR'Had me hooked from the first page ... Savour every word' DUA LIPA'The book that everyone is reading'NEW YORK TIMES'Sublime' EDOUARD LOUISA SERVICE95 BOOK CLUB PICK
Dua Lipa's September Book Club Pick Included in The Guardian's Best Translated Fiction of 2024" Bad Habit] shows us that a 'trans novel' can actually be anything it wants to be." -New York Times"A novel that could very well serve as a surrogate mother for future children who grow up lonely and trans." -Washington PostCombining the raw realism and vulnerability of Shuggie Bain and Detransition, Baby with the poignant sensibility of Pedro Almod var, a staggering coming-of-age novel deeply rooted in the struggles of a trans woman growing up in Madrid.Anchored by the voice of its sweet and defiant narrator, Bad Habit casts a trans woman's trying youth as a heartfelt odyssey. Raised in an animated yet impoverished blue-collar neighborhood, Alana S. Portero's protagonist struggles to find her place. As the city around her changes-the heroin epidemic that ravages Madrid through the '80s and '90s, rallying calls of worker solidarity and the pulsing beat of the city's night scene- she becomes increasingly detached from the world and, most crucially, herself.Yet through her eyes, the streets and people of Madrid are illuminated by a poetry absent from everyday life. And by this guiding light she begins to plot her own course, from Margarita, the local trans woman whose unspoken kinship both captivates and frightens her, to Jay, her first love and source of an inevitable heartbreak, to the irrepressible diva Caramel. As she forges ahead, she sets her compass to a personal north star: endeavoring to find herself. But with each step forward, she is confronted by a violence she doesn't yet know how to counter; in this exciting, often terrifying, world each choice is truly a matter of life and death. With her first novel, Alana S. Portero strikingly underscores the ties between gender and class, the search for identity, and the power of sisterhood and community. Gentle but blistering, Bad Habit is a mesmerizing story of self-realization that speaks to the outsider in all of us. Translated from the Spanish by Mara Faye Lethem

Ravisteleva, kansainvälisesti ylistetty romaani identiteetistä ja selviytymisestä Madrid 1980-luvulla. Nimettömäksi jäävä nuori transnainen kasvaa köyhässä työläislähiössä, jossa hänelle ei ole sijaa. Varttuessaan hän löytää yhteisön Madridin keskustan narkkareiden, pop-diivojen ja langenneiden enkelien vilkkaassa maailmassa. Mutta jokaisella eteenpäin vievällä askeleella hän joutuu myös kohtaamaan väkivaltaa, jota ei vielä osaa torjua. Lyyrinen, realistinen ja yksityiskohdissaan omaelämäkerrallinen teos on lumoava tarina itsensä toteuttamisesta, ja se puhuttelee ulkopuolisuuden tunteita meissä kaikissa. Paha tapa julkaistiin Espanjassa vuonna 2023, ja sen jälkeen se on noussut yhdeksi viime vuosien vaikuttavimmista, palkituimmista ja myydyimmistä espanjalaisista romaaneista. ”Vaikuttava ja runollinen esikoisromaani” (New York Times) on valittu muun muassa The Guardianin vuoden 2024 parhaiden käännösromaanien joukkoon. "Kehotan teitä, lukekaa Paha tapa ymmärtääksenne täysin, kuinka paljon vastoinkäymisiä, kipua ja vaaroja transihminen kokee aikuiseksi kasvaessaan.” – Pedro Almodovar
Alejandro vokser opp i et konservativt arbeiderklassestrøk utenfor Madrid og er omgitt av voldelige, utagerende menn og omsorgsfulle kvinnefellesskap. Unge gutter forsvinner i heroinmisbruk, og politiet lar alltid vente på seg når ulykken inntreffer. Som trans føler hun seg ikke hjemme noe sted, men Madrid er befolket av mytiske skikkelser som gir henne håp om en lysere framtid og mot til å stå opp for den hun er: den lokale transkvinnen Margarita, som både er fascinerende og skremmende, Jay, som blir hennes første kjærlighet, og de ukuelige divaene Caramel, La Cartier og La Chinchilla. Dårlig vane er en vakker og dypt bevegende roman om å være ung transkvinne i 1980-tallets Madrid. En uforglemmelig historie om identitet og kjønn, vennskap og kjærlighet. Alana S. Portero (f. 1978) er spansk poet, dramatiker og LHBT+-aktivist.
Alejandro vokser op i et kvarter, hvor unge drenge sygner hen i heroinmisbrug som faldne engle, og hvor politiet altid tager sig god tid, før de rykker ud til ulykker. Hun vokser op blandt voldelige og udadreagerende mænd og omsorgsfulde kvindefællesskaber og kan ikke finde et hjem i noget af det. Hun observerer den lidelse, homoseksuelle og transkønnede i kvarteret går igennem og lærer hurtigt, at hun som transkønnet pige må indordne sig for at passe ind. Gennem hendes øjne observeres et Madrid befolket af mytefigurer og oplyst af poesi, og hun finder stille sin egen vej i livet gennem de mennesker, der krydser den: den lokale transkvinde Margarita, som både fascinerer og skræmmer hende; den homoseksuelle dreng Jay, hendes første kærlighed og kilde til stor hjertesorg; de ukuelige divaer Caramel, La Cartier og La Chinchilla. Men for hvert skridt fremad bliver hun konfronteret med en vold, hun endnu ikke ved, hvordan hun skal håndtere, og hvert valg, hun tager, bliver et spørgsmål om liv og død. Igennem romanen får vi historien om de mennesker, der har haft indflydelse på Alejandros kønsforståelse, identitet og rejse mod selv at blive kvinde. Det er en roman om fra en tidlig alder at vide, man er en pige, der er fanget i det forkerte køn, og om at blive mindet om det igen og igen gennem sproget og andres blikke. Om sorgen ved at stå udenfor fællesskabet og kigge længselsfuldt ind. Uvaner er oversat af Liv Camilla Skjødt.
