Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Consent" is a Molotov cocktail, flung at the face of the French establishment, a work of dazzling, highly controlled fury.By every conceivable metric, her book is a triumph." -- The New York Times Already an international literary sensation, an intimate and powerful memoir of a young French teenage girl's relationship with a famous, much older male writer--a universal #MeToo story of power, manipulation, trauma, recovery, and resiliency that exposes the hypocrisy of a culture that has allowed the sexual abuse of minors to occur unchecked.Sometimes, all it takes is a single voice to shatter the silence of complicity.Thirty years ago, Vanessa Springora was the teenage muse of one of the country's most celebrated writers, a footnote in the narrative of a very influential man in the French literary world.At the end of 2019, as women around the world began to speak out, Vanessa, now in her forties and the director of one of France's leading publishing houses, decided to reclaim her own story, offering her perspective of those events sharply known.Consent is the story of one precocious young girl's stolen adolescence. Devastating in its honesty, Vanessa's painstakingly memoir lays bare the cultural attitudes and circumstances that made it possible for a thirteen-year-old girl to become involved with a fifty-year-old man who happened to be a notable writer. As she recalls the events of her childhood and her seduction by one of her country's most notable writers, Vanessa reflects on the ways in which this disturbing relationship changed and affected her as she grew older.Drawing parallels between children's fairy tales and French history and her personal life, Vanessa offers an intimate and absorbing look at the meaning of love and consent and the toll of trauma and the power of healing in women's lives. Ultimately, she offers a forceful indictment of a chauvinistic literary world that has for too long accepted and helped perpetuate gender inequality and the exploitation and sexual abuse of children. Translated from the French by Natasha Lehrer".One of the belated truths that emerges from [Consent] is that Springora is a writer. [.]Her sentences gleam like metal; each chapter snaps shut with the clean brutality of a latch." -- The New Yorker"Consent [is] rapier-sharp, written with restraint, elegance and brevity." -- The Times (London)"[Consent] has something steely in its heart, and it departs from the typical American memoir of childhood abuse in exhilarating ways." -- Slate"Lucid and nuanced.[Consent] will speak to trauma survivors everywhere." -- Los Angeles Review of Books"A piercing memoir about the sexually abusive relationship she endured at age 14 with a 50-year-old writer.This chilling account will linger with readers long after the last page is turned." -- Publishers Weekly "Springora's lucid account is a commanding discussion of sexual abuse and victimization, and a powerful act of reclamation." -- Booklist"A chilling story of child abuse and the sophisticated Parisians who looked the other way.[Springora] is an elegant and perceptive writer." -- Kirkus "Originally published as Le Consentement in France in 2020 by Editions Grasset & Fasquelle."--Title page verso.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Tras el fenomeno de El consentimiento, traducido en 31 paises, aclamado por la critica y llevado al cine, vuelve Vanessa Springora con una impactante novela que desenmascara el pasado de los hombres de su familia.Vanessa Springora esta a la altura de sus compatriotas Delphine de Vigano Emmanuel Carrere, imprescindibles en cualquier canon de la literatura actual de no ficcion. Ines Martin Rodrigo, ABCEn medio de la promocion de su primera novela, El consentimiento, que provoco un seismo social y literario, Vanessa Springora recibe una llamada de la policia para que acuda a identificar el cuerpo sin vida de su padre, un hombre fabulador y misantropo que habia terminado por convertirse en un extrano para ella. Pero al vaciar su casa, algo llama su atencion: dos fotos antiguas de su abuelo paterno en las que exhibe la esvastica. Un descubrimiento que echa por tierra la version del querido abuelo checo, Josef, reclutado a la fuerza por el ejercito nazi, desertor en Francia, colaborador de los estadounidenses durante la liberacion y refugiado privilegiado como disidente del regimen comunista.Comienza asi una obsesiva busqueda para saber quien era en realidad ese hombre que le dio su apellido y como pudo o no consentir la barbarie. A lo largo de dos anos, Vanessa rastreara documentos familiares, archivos checos, alemanes y franceses, y se reunira con testigos para tratar de recomponer un itinerario verosimil. Pero siempre faltan piezas.Alternando ficcion, investigacion, diario de viaje y leyendas familiares, y con Kafka, Gombrowicz, Zweig o Kundera en mente, Springora se zambulle en la historia del siglo XX para reflexionar sobre la naturaleza implacable del linaje y el poder devastador de lo que ha sido silenciado.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAfter the editorial phenomenon of Consent, translated in 31 countries, acclaimed by critics, and made into a movie, Vanessa Springora returns with an astounding novel that unmasks the past of the men in her family. While promoting her first novel, Consent, which provoked a social and literary seism, Vanessa Springora receives a phone call from the police, asking her to come identify her fathers lifeless body, a fabricator and misanthrope that in the end was nothing more than a stranger to her. But while emptying his house, something caught her attention: two old photographs of her paternal grandfather wearing a swastika. Discovery that makes the version of dear old Czech grandpa Josef come tumbling down, forcefully recruited by the Nazi army, deserter in France, collaborator to the Americans during the liberation, and privileged refugee as dissident of the Communist regime. And thus began an obsessive search to know who the man that gave her his name was, and how he might have consented to the slaughter, or not. Over the course of two years, Vanessa traces family documents, Czech, German, and French archives, and meets with witnesses in an attempt to reconstruct a believable itinerary. But there are always some missing pieces.Alternating fiction, research, travel journal, and family legends, with Kafka, Gombrowicz, Zweig, or Kundera in mind, Springora delves into twentieth century history to reflect upon the implacable nature of lineage and the devastating power of what has been silenced.
