Description:

Lilia Guerra explains that she coined the neologism that titles this book after realizing how much discomfort and even repulsion the periphery can cause. This awareness arose when the author, as a child, moved from a more central area to a housing complex neighborhood that was at least two hours away from the city center by bus. The characters in this acclaimed collection of stories share this knowledge of inhabiting neglected areas of large cities. But while the distance from the favela imposes new ways of dealing with precariousness, the women, men, and children in this book transcend any and all limitations that might try to annihilate them
