It forces you to see, to really see, what it means to be a child abused by an adult, for years. Everyone should read it.\" --Annie Ernaux \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSad Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e is built on the facts of a series of devastating events. Neige Sinno was seven years old when her stepfather started sexually abusing her. At 19, she decided to break the silence that is so common in all cultures around sexual violence. This led to a public trial and prison for her stepfather and Sinno started a new life in Mexico. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the construction of a fragmented narrative, Sinno explores 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. Her account is woven together with a close reading of literary works by Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot, and Virginie Despentes among others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSad Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e--the title inspired by William Blake's poem \"The Tyger\"--is a literary exploration into how to speak about the unspeakable. In this extraordinary book there is an abiding concern: how to protect others from what the author herself endured? In the midst of so much darkness, an answer reads crystal clear: by speaking up and asking questions. A striking, shocking, and necessary masterpiece. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of the Le Monde Literary Prize, 2023\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the European Strega Prize, 2024\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Prix Femina, 2023\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Goncourt des Lycéens, 2023\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the US and UK Goncourt Prizes, 2024\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Le Monde Literary Prize, 2023\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Inrockuptibles Prize, 2023\u003cbr\u003eShortlisted for the Medicis Prize, 2023\u003cbr\u003eShortlisted for the Decembre Prize, 2023\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Goncourt Prizes in Belgium, Slovakia, India, Turkey, Tunisia, and South Korea, 2023","brand":"Natasha Lehrer, Neige Sinno","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46358592291052,"sku":"9781644214671","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781644214671.jpg?v=1744412840","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/sad-tiger","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
