Dead Girls, Selva Almada

Three teenage girls from the provinces murdered in the 1980s, three unpunished deaths that occurred when, in our country, we still didn't know the term "femicide."
Three murders among the hundreds that don't make headlines or attract the cameras of Buenos Aires TV channels. Three cases that arrive out of order: the radio announces them, a small-town newspaper commemorates them, someone remembers them in a conversation. Three crimes that occurred in the interior of the country, while Argentina celebrated the return of democracy. Three deaths without culprits.
Having become an obsession over the years, these cases lead to an atypical and fruitless investigation. Selva Almada's sharp prose captures the invisible in black and white, and the everyday forms of violence against girls and women become part of an intense and vivid narrative. With this book, the author opens new paths for Latin American non-fiction.
