Nefando— Mónica Ojeda

Nefando revolves around a Deep web video game, a digital enigma that has caused scandal for containing images that dislocate all morality.

As an investigation, the novel is built on testimonies from those involved in the game's creation: a Spanish programmer, two Mexican literature students, and three Ecuadorian siblings, all living in the same apartment in Barcelona. In this way, different plots unravel, revealing stories whose wounds remain raw: discomfort with biological gender, an abusive father, an overprotective mother.

As a complement to this complex narrative framework, the writing of a pornographic novel by one of the characters finds a place in Nefando: in it, two sadomasochistic teenagers – Diego and Eduardo – find in Nella, a new student at the boarding school where they live, the accomplice and challenge of their desire.
