Frédéric d'Aoust plans to do
Summary
J’ai voulu y croire, j’ai voulu rêver que le royaume de la littérature m’accueillerait comme n’importe lequel des orphelins qui y trouvent refuge, mais même à travers l’art, on ne peut pas sortir vainqueur de l’abjection. La littérature ne m’a pas sauvée. Je ne suis pas sauvée.
Community Reviews
Readers find 'Triste Tigre' a deeply introspective and challenging exploration of childhood sexual abuse and its aftermath. Neige Sinno's narrative is praised for its intellectual depth and literary references, which enrich the discussion around the trauma and its portrayal. However, opinions are divided: while many admire the book's raw honesty and lack of sensationalism, others find it overly analytical and difficult to engage with, criticizing its dense literary intertextuality and the intense subject matter.
👍 Intellectual depth with literary enrichments
👎 May be overly analytical for some
