Las chicas no lloran
by Olivia Gallo
Description
In the courageous and melancholic vein of Milena Busquets or the sensual insouciance of Miranda July, these stories dissect the rawness and horror of love and the violence of its contradictions: Those dark passages like those on a ghost train where mothers, fathers, and children wander. Characters who, in order to grow up, embrace uncertainty and disillusionment.
Like a young sage, irreproachable and pious, sharp and delicate, Olivia Gallo tells what happened yesterday with distance. She pushes away the past, twists it, stretches it, tastes it like sour candy, allows for emotion or annoyance, but never enough to cry. Never that much.

Reviews
Santiago Llach: “This is a book of stories about the audacity and reluctance of youth. It’s a document of the sensitive intelligence of the centennial generation. Its stories are epiphanic; they reveal, they don’t explain.”
Laura Ramos: "Her heroines are girls, and they're fragile and vulnerable, and they wear eyeliner and lipstick and all they want to do is get dirty, get mucky, fill themselves with mud. They're adorable."
Daniel Carrillo: "With themes involving family, friendship, and romantic relationships, this young Argentine writer produces very effective and poetic moments, with a fresh and contemporary vision."
Sebastián Basualdo: "Oliva Gallo's writing often seems to act as a way of understanding a moment that may have gone unnoticed in the maelstrom of adolescence and the early years of youth."
Albert Gomez: "A selection of 12 stories that capture the contemporary coming of age with finesse, feminine sensibility, and precision."
