À propos de ce contenu audio
The first novel to appear in English by one of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed writers of new Mexican fiction. From a psychoanalyst's couch, the narrator looks back on her bizarre childhood - in which she was born with an abnormality in her eye into a family intent on fixing it. In a world without the time and space for innocence, the narrator intimately recalls her younger self - a fierce and discerning girl open to life's pleasures and keen to its ruthless cycle of tragedy. With raw language and a brilliant sense of humor, both delicate and unafraid, Nettel strings together hard-won, unwieldy memories - taking us from Mexico City to Aix-en-Provence, France, then back home again - to create a portrait of the artist as a young girl. In this novel, Nettel's art of storytelling transforms experience into inspiration and a new startling perception of reality.
