A Debut Novel Builds a Family Story Around a Squint
Victoria Kaario's first novel, Mon Oeil, uses strabismus as the hinge of a family narrative, according to a review in Diacritik.
Diacritik has published a review of Mon Oeil, the debut novel by Victoria Kaario. According to the outlet, the book takes strabismus — a squint, a wandering eye — as the structural key to a story about family.
The review describes the choice as an ambitious wager: building a family narrative around a physical condition that affects how a person looks, and is looked at, in order to say something about how families see themselves and each other.
Beyond the title, the author's name and this description of its premise, the source material gives no further detail — no publisher, no publication date, no plot summary. Readers curious about Mon Oeil will need to wait for more coverage to learn how the novel unfolds.
