"The bodies where we are born are not the same bodies that we leave the world in."
A remarkable narration from the analyst's couch where fiction puts the story of life at a critical distance by creating a 'willing suspension of disbelief' about itself. The analytic alienation of life into story marks the malleable sexuated body where speech keeps pouring in, without ever settling down on it.
Guadalupe Nettel's first novel is a treat. Looking forward to more such intensities from the brilliant Mexican writer of 'Natural Histories.'
