Between autobiography and essay, a powerful and high-voltage literary text about child sexual abuse.

This is the story of a woman who, as a child, suffered abuse from her stepfather and who reflects on the meaning of the experience she had to live through. She knows she will never truly understand what happened, and yet she continues to search, with the pacifying distance of the years but with her rage intact. Thinking is like a samurai's fight against a monster, and, to fight the monsters of the past and the new monsters that appear when she becomes a mother, this woman uses the weapons with which she has trained: the weapons of literature. Sad Tiger is an adventure of thought that invites us to accompany the narrator as she questions sexual violence, evil, trauma, silence, but also the ways of being a protective adult, freedom, truth, the narrative. How to tell a story that cannot be told? How to listen to a story that no one wants to hear? What to do with something that is terribly serious and yet perfectly normal?

Sad Tiger is not a book, it is a bomb, a small artisanal bomb that detonates at home, in the intimacy of reading. It has the intensity and fragility of things conceived in solitude and with fury. It also has the crazy and ridiculous ambition for everything to explode into pieces.
