Lize Spit writes of an impossible reconciliation with a dying mother
The Flemish author's new book, translated into French as « Autobiographie de mon corps », is reviewed by Le Monde as a raw, multi-layered account of a mother-daughter bond told through two suffering bodies.
Le Monde has published a review of « Autobiographie de mon corps », a book by Flemish writer Lize Spit now available in French translation. According to the paper, the text addresses in blunt, unflinching language the near-impossible attempt to grow close to a dying mother.
The review describes a narrative built around the relationship between a mother and a daughter, framed through their two suffering bodies. Le Monde calls the result bouleversant — deeply affecting — citing its layered construction.
No further details on the book's length, French publisher, or original Dutch publication are given in the material available, and none are supplied here.
