Burned by her traumatic past, Angel is new to the drag world, new to ball culture, and has a yearning inside of her to help create family for those without. When she falls in love with Hector, a beautiful young man who dreams of becoming a professional dancer, the two decide to form the House of Xtravaganza, the first-ever all-Latino house in the Harlem ball circuit. But when Hector dies of AIDS-related complications, Angel must bear the responsibility of tending to their house alone.</p><p>As mother of the house, Angel recruits Venus, a whip-fast trans girl who dreams of finding a rich man to take care of her; Juanito, a quiet boy who loves fabrics and design; and Daniel, a butch queen who accidentally saves Venuss life. The Xtravaganzas must learn to navigate sex work, addiction, and persistent abuse, leaning on each other as bulwarks against a world that resists them. All are ambitious, resilient, and determined to control their own fates, even as they hurtle toward devastating consequences.</p><p>Told in a voice that brims with wit, rage, tenderness, and fierce yearning, <em>The House of Impossible Beauties</em> is a tragic story of love, family, and the dynamism of the human spirit.</p>...214118The House of Impossible Beauties656656https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-house-of-impossible-beauties-2/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1699792/ca147ef3-fa12-431d-a41d-ac19f7465d0f.jpg?v=638338709137030000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20189780062797926_W3siaWQiOiIzZjg1MGQzNS0yY2E1LTRhNTMtODU5ZS1jNTMyYmZjYjE0Y2EiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjYzOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NjM5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9780062797926_<p><strong>A gritty and gorgeous debut that follows a cast of gay and transgender club kids navigating the Harlem ball scene of the 1980s and 90s, inspired by the real House of Xtravaganza made famous by the seminal documentary <em>Paris Is Burning</em></strong></p><p>Its 1980 in New York City, and nowhere is the citys glamour and energy better reflected than in the burgeoning Harlem ball scene, where seventeen-year-old Angel first comes into her own.
