☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
My Favorite Scar is by Argentinian author Nicolás Ferraro and was translated from Spanish by Mallory Craig-Kuhn. It’s been described as a noir coming-of-age story. The main character is a 15-year-old girl who is being brought up by her incorrigible criminal father. She dresses his bullet wounds and has her own shotgun—but what she really wants is to stay in one place and lead a normal life.
