"Bad Man is intelligent, brave and extraordinarily well written."- Milena Busquets Pola Oloixarac has been approached numerous times by women bent on punishing men, including former lovers. They denounce these men in scathing terms and demand that the author pick a side: either with her fellow women or the bad men in their lives. There can be no middle ground. Fascinated and sometimes perplexed, Oloixarac considers a system with the power to cast suspicion on virtually anyone, including herself. Informed by her interactions with persuasive and sometimes monstruous individuals, she analyzes the mechanisms of cancel culture and the complexities of sex and desire. Oloixarac has written a controversial and cutting book that examines the tyranny of political correctness and questions some aspects of feminism. But Bad Man is also an intimate and moving novel built on female empowerment that touches on such varied topics as Victoria Ocampo and her lovers, California sex cults, Roko's basilisk and the seemingly unstoppable forces driving new social configurations that simultaneously attract and dismay.

Pola Oloixarac, la autora que nos deslumbr? con Las teor?as salvajes, pone sobre la mesa el escrache en un libro disruptivo, incisivo y brillantemente pol?mico.
«Bad hombre es un libro inteligente, valeroso y extraordinariamente bien escrito . --Milena Busquets
Durante un tiempo, Pola Oloixarac recibi? una serie de invitaciones de mujeres que ten?an un objetivo implacable: castigar a ciertos hombres, con quienes hab?an mantenido, o no, una relaci?n amorosa. Las denuncias que pesaban sobre ellos eran escalofriantes, y exigen que la narradora tome partido: est? con la justicia feminista o con los bad hombres? No pod?a haber t?rmino medio.
