Reviews
"Fate has in Dead Girls the perfume of a Greek tragedy: immutable, irreversible, lethal." --El País "Far from the detective story, this is an intimate tale, a certain negative of the autobiography of a young woman looking at other young women and how all of them are perceived by a society where misogyny and violence against them is still an everyday affair." --Página 12 "A tense, precise chronicle that treats seriously a still serious subject." --El Cultural, Spain "Selva Almada reinvents the imaginative rural world of a country. She is an author gifted with a very uncommon power and sensitivity." --Rolling Stone (Argentina), Almada combines reportage, fiction, and autobiography to explore femicide in Argentina in her acute, unflinching latest. --Publishers Weekly, starred review Almada's prose is sparse, but the details count. Her ear for dialogue and especially gossip is pitch perfect. Her eye for detail is hawkish. --LA Review of Books Part journalism, part history, part autobiography, part relentless nightmare. --Shelf Awareness, starred review Not an easy book, but it feels like an important one - a work of investigative writing about how easily women's lives are obscured. --The Scotsman An unassuming yet intensely felt narrative. (4 stars) --The Arts Desk This is a powerful read...[Almada's] effective use of fiction ensures a deep empathy in her readers which strict reportage sometimes fails to evoke. --The Big Issue Genre-defying, with beautifully crafted and reflective prose. --The F Word You'll walk away from this book with a vivid memory of where you were, how you were feeling, and what the weather was like on the day that you read Dead Girls. --Books and Bao The literary quality of the text shines. --Sound and Vision The prose strikes a perfect tone - clinical and punchy when necessary, angry and lyrical, brutal yet humanistic. --TN2 A tense, precise chronicle that treats seriously a still serious subject. --El Cultural A powerful read, shedding a stark light on the horrors of gender violence. --The Big Issue This is not a book that will make you feel at peace with the world, but that is precisely where its strength and persuasion lie. --Translating Women Challenge[s] the true crime obsession in an indirect way. --Pendora Magazine What makes the book compelling is how the author explores issues of domestic violence, state complicity, machismo and family negligence, along with class and social inequalities, in a non-sentimental prose which is all the more effective as result. --Morning Star The devastating conclusion of the narrator is that the women who survive are unlikely to have made it unscathed but they are lucky ones - lucky to be alive. --NB Magazine --New York Times Fate has in Dead Girls the perfume of a Greek tragedy: immutable, irreversible, lethal. --El País Far from the detective story, this is an intimate tale, a certain negative of the autobiography of a young woman looking at other young women and how all of them are perceived by a society where misogyny and violence against them is still an everyday affair. --Pagina/12 Selva Almada reinvents the imaginative rural world of a country.

Synopsis
Author of International Booker Finalist Not a River Internationally acclaimed author of Not a River , Selva Almada tackles the issue of gender violence in this hybrid work that follows in the tradition of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood or John Hersey's Hiroshima .Evoking with intimate first-hand knowledge the heat and dust of provincial Argentina, with all its secrets and conflicting loyalties, Almada tells the stories of three young women murdered in the early 1980s, as the country was celebrating its return to democracy. Three deaths that were never brought to justice and occurred long before the term 'femicide' became widely known: nineteen-year-old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; fifteen-year-old María Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and twenty-year-old Sarita Mundín, whose disfigured body washed up on a river bank. In this brutal yet deeply important book, Selva Almada weaves these and other cases of violence against women into a clear-eyed, multi-faceted portrait that has global resonance.This is not a police chronicle, although there is an investigation. This is not a thriller, although there is mystery and suspense. Hard-hitting and lyrical, Almada blazes a new trail in journalistic fiction., Not a police chronicle, not a thriller, but a contemporary noir novel of the ongoing catastrophe of femicide and the murder of three young women in interior of Argentina.
