Reviews"One of the best memoirs I've ever read." - Autostraddle "Uses humor and vivid storytelling to talk not only about abuse and trauma, but also joy and survival." - NPR "A little earthquake of a book." - Xtra "I don't know if I've ever read anything so emotionally honest and morally rigorous. Fuck all the college reading lists for Ethics 101. Just assign Faltas . It's funnier than Kant, and more realistic." - them "Blunt, no-punch-pulling . Gentili is able to reframe [her] experiences - as well as her formative clashes with colorism and transphobia - as communal projects rather than isolated incidents, the burden from which only she would otherwise bear." - Vulture "A painstaking, personal and power-filled manifesto for survivors and trans women and anyone dreaming and yearning on the margins." -Janet Mock, author of Redefining Realness "A brilliant writer whose Faltas (which is Spanish for "errors") are infallible reports from the front lines of trans literature. This book is irresistible." -Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story "These are bewitching accounts that do everything all at once: accuse, forgive, mock, heal, teach, seduce; stories that transcend classification and reality even as they tell hard truths. Cecilia Gentili is a singular voice that you can't miss." -Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby " Faltas pulsates with the same thrill as listening in secretly to a phone call, opening someone else's mail, reading a strangers' diary. You know it's wrong but you would do anything to keep going." -Morgan M Page, writer, Framing Agnes "In some ways I may never finish processing this book. Gentili's writing is so raw without ever feeling unpolished, so personal and honest and unflinching. Alongside Dream Rooms and A Year Without a Name: A Memoir , it is a trans memoir that apologizes for nothing and refuses to make compromises for cisgender readers. Gentili's treatment of the trauma central to Faltas is unparalleled; nothing feels sensationalized but nothing is shied away from. A phenomenal, important book." -Gus Thompson, The Ivy Bookshop (Baltimore, MD)
