The Wild Theories
The Wild Theories provoked critical and cultural controversy upon its release, with its subject matter and Oloixarac's public image coming under scrutiny.[3] According to Oloixarac, "The book has sparked verbal violence and a sexist uproar precisely because it doesn’t deal with the issues that are traditionally associated with ‘women's literature,’ but instead contains a sociological critique that is both intelligent and satirical, which are apparently traits solely reserved for men."
