reflective sad fast-paced

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...

Springora's memoir is simultaneously the reclamation of her narrative and, as the New York Times put it, "a Molotov cocktail flung in the face of the French establishment, a work of dazzling and highly controlled fury." I read it in a single sitting, I simply couldn't put it down. I honestly struggle with out to amply describe here what it is about this book that is so powerful, so I'd simply advise that you pick it up and see.
