About this listen

Las Biuty Queens: a group of trans Latinx immigrant friends who walk the streets of New York, smoke crystal meth, compete in beauty contests, look for clients on their impossibly high heels and fall prey to increasingly cruel immigration policies.

Drawing from his/her own perspective as a trans performer, sex worker and undocumented immigrant, acclaimed Chilean writer Iván Monalisa Ojeda shines a light on a group of friends trying to survive the dark side of the American dream and introduces listeners to an unfamiliar, glittering and violent New York City that will draw them in and swallow them whole.

Critic reviews

"Can't get enough of Pose? Then Las Biuty Queens will be your new fave read. Exploring the lives of the Latin American trans community, Biuty Queens effortlessly blends heart and humour while exploring life on the wrong side of the American dream. Ivan Monalisa Ojeda sparkles as one of 2021's boldest new writers." (Cosmopolitan, best books to read this summer)

"This is New York, full of beauty and pain - turn away at your own peril." (Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City)

"The American dream as seen from the height of a good pair of heels." (Pedro Almodóvar)
