Las malas is the first novel by Argentine author Camila Sosa Villada, first published in Argentina on March 1, 2019, by Barcelona-based book publisher Tusquets Editores,[1] which later published it in Spain on June 9, 2020.[2] The story is set in the Argentine city of Córdoba and focuses on the lives of a group of travestis who work as street prostitutes at Sarmiento Park, among which is the narrator herself.[3][4]

The book has been a critical and commercial success.[5] It has been translated into French, German and Croatian, and will also be released in Italian, Norwegian and Brazilian Portuguese during 2021.[6] In February 2021, it was announced that the English-language translation was in the making and would be published by Other Press.[6]

In October 2020, Las malas received the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize given by the Guadalajara International Book Fair.[7] The book was also awarded the Grand Prix de l'Héroïne given by Madame Figaro and the Premio de Narrativa en Castellano given by Barcelona bookstore Finestres.[8]
