Synopsis
El desgarrador viaje vital de una niña atrapada en un cuerpo que no sabe habitar. Una novela deslumbrante que no se parece a nada que hayas leído. Un fenómeno literario internacional antes de su publicación. «La mala costumbre nos enseña a volver >a mirarlo todo otra vez y a entenderlo mejor.» Bob Pop «Un libro hermosísimo, cruel y redentor sobre el camino que recorremos hasta convertirnos en quienes somos.» Elena Medel >«Una escritora en mayúsculas, cruda y brillante. Un debut arrebatador lleno de buenos augurios. Una herida sin nombre que por fin podrá cicatrizar.» María Sánchez Narrada desde una singular y desgarradora voz en primera persona, La mala costumbre recorre la adolescencia de una niña atrapada en un cuerpo que no sabe habitar, que intenta comprenderse a sí 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 heroína en los años ochenta, hasta las noches clandestinas en el centro de Madrid de los noventa. Como en una versión bastarda del viaje del héroe, yonquis, divas pop y ángeles caídos la acompañan en un viaje vital en el que, al final, serán otras mujeres quienes le ayuden a superar la violencia que encuentra a cada paso. La mala costumbre es una novela cruda y feroz, pero también poética y conmovedora, en la que los extremos se tocan para mostrarnos por qué el resentimiento y la rabia contra el sistema son completamente válidos para sobrevivir en una sociedad que no acepta a los que son diferentes. Dueña de un universo creativo único en el que conviven el teatro, la historia clásica y el activismo, Alana S. Portero debuta en la ficción con esta novela deslumbrante que se ha convertido en un fenómeno editorial internacional antes de su publicación.

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.
