Este fenómeno literario internacional (el título está inspirado en el poema de William Blake The Tyger) es una exploración forense sobre cómo hablar de lo indescriptible. Neige Sinno, expuesta repetidamente a la violencia sexual cuando era niña, habla de una vida familiar construida en torno a mentiras y engaños. Tenía siete u ocho años cuando su padrastro empezó a abusar de ella. A los catorce o quince años cesaron los abusos. A los 19 años, decide romper su silencio, lo que lleva a un juicio público y prisión para su padrastro, y Sinno comienza una nueva vida en México, lejos de Francia. Es a través del arte de su narrativa y su poderoso análisis directo del tabú profundamente arraigado que Sinno explora las diferentes facetas de la memoria, la suya, la de su madre y la de su padrastro abusivo; y del abuso mismo en toda su monstruosidad y banalidad. ¿Cómo llegamos a ser quienes somos? ¿Qué queda sin decir en las familias? ¿Cómo está implicada la sociedad? Este desgarrador relato de autoficción sobre el abuso sexual del autor cuando era niño está mediado a través del análisis de varios textos literarios, incluidas obras de Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot y Virginie Despentes.
This international literary phenomenon—the title inspired by William Blake’s poem The Tyger—is a forensic exploration into how to speak about the unspeakable. Repeatedly exposed to sexual violence as a child, Neige Sinno tells of a family life built around lies and deception. She was 7 or 8 years old when her stepfather started abusing her. At fourteen or 15 the abuse stopped. At 19, she decides to break her silence which leads to a public trial and prison for her stepfather, and Sinno starts a new life in Mexico, far away from France. It is through the craft of her narrative and her powerful direct analysis of the deep-seated taboo that Sinnoexplores the different facets of memory, her own, her mother’s, as well as her abusive stepfather’s; and of abuse itself in all its monstrosity and banality. How do we become who we are? What remains unsaid in families? How is society implicated? This harrowing auto-fictional account of the author's sexual abuse as a child is mediated through analysis of various literary texts, including works by Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot, and Virginie Despentes.
