Synopsis "Nefando"

Nefando gira en torno a un videojuego de la Deep web; un enigma digital que ha causado escándalo por contener imágenes que dislocan toda moral. A manera de investigación, la novela se construye con testimonios de aquellos involucrados en la creación del juego: un programador español, dos estudiantes de letras mexicanos y tres hermanos ecuatorianos, todos habitantes del mismo departamento en Barcelona. De esta manera, distintas tramas se deshilvanan hasta dejar al descubierto historias cuyas heridas se mantienen en carne viva: inconformidad con el género biológico, un padre abusivo, una madre sobreprotectora. Como complemento de este complejo andamiaje narrativo, la escritura de una novela pornográfica a cargo de uno de los personajes encuentra cabida en Nefando: en ella, dos adolescentes Diego y Eduardo sadomasoquistas encuentran en Nella, una nueva alumna del internado donde viven, a la cómplice y reto de su deseo.

Mónica Ojeada Franco was born on May 17, 1988 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. From an early age, she showed an unusual interest in literature and the exploration of complex and taboo subjects, which would later become the hallmark of her work. She studied Social Communication with a mention in Literature at the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil and obtained a master's degree in Literary Creation and in Theory and Criticism of Culture from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona.

Ojeada is recognized for her bold approach to themes such as fear, pain, sexuality, gender violence, and the relationship between the feminine and the monstrous. Her narrative, classified within the "new Latin American Gothic," stands out for its poetic and disturbing prose that explores the limits of human experience and the psychology of her characters. She has also been compared to authors like Mariana Enríquez and is considered one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latin American literature.

Among her most influential works are "La desfiguración Silva (2014), Nefando (2016), Mandíbula (2018) or Las voladoras (2020)."
