Daria Marx turns to fiction to write about incest
The feminist activist and essayist, known for her writing on fatphobia, publishes her first novel, 'Tuer le vieux,' a book about incest that Télérama calls striking and unsparing.
Daria Marx has published her first novel, 'Tuer le vieux,' which tells the story of incest with what Télérama describes as rage and precision, sparing the reader nothing. The outlet calls it an impressive debut.
Marx had previously written three essays on fatphobia. For this book, according to Télérama, she chose fiction over direct testimony to approach the subject of incest.
L'autofiction, c'est une manière de reprendre le pouvoir.
