genuinely can not believe this memoir hasn't won a Pulitzer. one of the best books i have ever read and that is saying a lot. the prose cuts through you and opens your mind. the emotions springora went through i felt through her writing. truly no other better description than this book is a "Molotov cocktail thrown at the face of the French establishment". breathtaking and heartwrenching.

4.5

Hòstia santíssima. Havia llegit coses dures, però sempre sabent que partíem de ficció. Però això no ho és. És fàcilment el llibre més dur que he llegit mai. Explica la història de la pròpia autora, el seu despertar sexual i la seva primera relació sentimental als 14 anys, en aquest cas amb un escriptor de 50 anys, conegut pedòfil, i com aquesta relació l'ha marcat tota la vida, com li ha costat establir relacions sentimentals sanes amb homes, com li ha costat deixar enrere allò.

I, un tema segurament secundari, però l'ètica dels editors que publiquen els textos d'ell? Textos reconeguts com a reals, no una ficció, textos en què es descriuen relacions sexuals amb menors per sota de l'edat de consentiment, textos on es parla de turisme sexual amb menors, textos que inclouen cartes escrites per menors... 

Per cremar-ho tot
