Neige Sinno in conversation with Elvira Liceaga

 
Querétaro 2024, 

The French author Neige Sinno has recently published her book Triste tigre in Spanish. This is a work that has startled the world of publishing. The book, which won the 2023 Fémina Proze, takes a precise and pitiless look at the monstrous and taboo theme of incest, which the author tackles based on her own experience, discovering it to be a crime that affects both family and society, which lives among truths and lies, and is linked to consent and the desire for power, and whose consequences are far-reaching in the lives of victims. It is also a book that speaks about the role of language and literature as safe spaces, which allow a freedom of thought. In conversation with Elvira Liceaga.
