Tatiana Salem Levy
Vista Chinesa

“In the novel, Tatiana Salem Levy determines to break the silence, rejecting insinuation and suggestion, writing styles typically associated with ideals of elegance in literature, in favour of a bold, visceral style, the better to expose the horror of the trauma, the scars this kind of violence leaves, and explore what it means to become a woman who has survived a rape. […] Without compromising on the aesthetical or political, Vista Chinesa establishes itself as a work of the highest literary quality.”
