"Abismos temporales by Nelly Richard it is an urgent and necessary book in the current context of redefinitions of bodies, sexes and genders propelled by feminism. Her reflections and warnings go from the First Congress of Female Literature of the year 1987, through the risky readings of the transvestite contortions of the years of dictatorship and transition, until arriving at the resistances of today with a queer theory that has trouble focusing on the dissenting corporality of the South" (HKB Translation) --Verso cover.
