  1. 1. Si Tout N'a Pas Péri Avec Mon Innocence

    A fierce, fragmentary coming-of-age account in which a narrator retraces the collapse of family life and the loss of innocence, confronting sexual awakening, violence, shame and a blackly comic will to survive; spare, urgent prose stitches together grotesque domestic detail and lyrical introspection as she interrogates memory, desire and identity while trying to salvage something from the wreckage of her past.
