Paperback, 256 pages
Published
27 August 2024

El desgarrador viaje vital de una ni�a atrapada en un cuerpo que no sabe habitar. Una novela deslumbrante que no se parece a nada que hayas le�do. Un fen�meno literario internacional antes de su publicaci�n.


�La mala costumbre nos ense�a a volver >a mirarlo todo otra vez y a entenderlo mejor.� Bob Pop


�Un libro hermos�simo, cruel y redentor sobre el camino que recorremos hasta convertirnos en quienes somos.� Elena Medel


>�Una escritora en may�sculas, cruda y brillante. Un debut arrebatador lleno de buenos augurios. Una herida sin nombre que por fin podr� cicatrizar.� Mar�a S�nchez


Narrada desde una singular y desgarradora voz en primera persona, La mala costumbre recorre la adolescencia de una ni�a atrapada en un cuerpo que no sabe habitar, que intenta comprenderse a s� misma y al mundo en el que vive, desde su infancia en una familia de clase obrera en el barrio de San Blas, arrasado por la hero�na en los a�os ochenta, hasta las noches clandestinas en el centro de Madrid de los noventa. Como en una versi�n bastarda del viaje del h�roe, yonquis, divas pop y �ngeles ca�dos la acompa�an en un viaje vital en el que, al final, ser�n otras mujeres quienes le ayuden a superar la violencia que encuentra a cada paso.


La mala costumbre es una novela cruda y feroz, pero tambi�n po�tica y conmovedora, en la que los extremos se tocan para mostrarnos por qu� el resentimiento y la rabia contra el sistema son completamente v�lidos para sobrevivir en una sociedad que no acepta a los que son diferentes. Due�a de un universo creativo �nico en el que conviven el teatro, la historia cl�sica y el activismo, Alana S. Portero debuta en la ficci�n con esta novela deslumbrante que se ha convertido en un fen�meno editorial internacional antes de su publicaci�n.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The heartbreaking life journey of a girl trapped in a body she doesn't know how to inhabit. A dazzling novel that is unlike anything you've ever read. An international literary phenomenon before its publication.


"La mala costumbre (The Bad Habit) teach us to look at everything again and to understand it better." Bob Pop

"A beautiful, cruel and redemptive book about the path we take to become who we are."
Elena Medel


"A writer in capital letters, raw and brilliant. A captivating debut full of good omens. A nameless wound that can finally heal." Maria Sanchez


Narrated from a unique and heartbreaking first-person voice, La mala costumbre covers the adolescence of a girl trapped in a body she does not know how to inhabit, who tries to understand herself and the world in which she lives, from her childhood in a working-class family in the neighborhood of San Blas, devastated by heroin in the eighties, to the clandestine nights in the center of Madrid in the nineties. As in a bastard version of the hero's journey, junkies, pop divas and fallen angels accompany her on a life journey in which, in the end, it will be other women who help her overcome the violence she encounters at every step.


You can listen to the soundtrack of the novel at: https: //open.spotify.com/playlist/0gQEfjdfg1iInLPl5JPoho?si=rirNC6yaRsautEDcBe27GA


La mala costumbre is a raw and fierce novel, but also poetic and moving, in which extremes touch to show us why resentment and rage against the system are completely valid to survive in a society that does not accept those who are different. Owner of a unique creative universe in which theater, classic history and activism coexist, Alana S. Portero makes her fiction debut with this dazzling novel that has become an international publishing phenomenon before its publication.
