Used book - The Consent, Vanessa Springora

"For so many years, I have been caged, my dreams filled with murder and revenge. Until the day the solution finally presented itself, right there, before my eyes, like an obvious truth: to trap the hunter in his own snare, to imprison him in a book."

Seduced at the age of fourteen by a famous writer in his fifties, three decades later Vanessa Springora describes the hold he had over her and the lasting impact of this relationship throughout her life as a woman. Beyond her intimate story, she questions in this account the excesses of an era and a literary microcosm blinded by talent and notoriety.

A phenomenon of a book translated into twenty-two languages and currently being adapted for cinema.

With implacable precision, Le Consentement sheds a raw and chilling light on that grey area in which a person under duress finds themselves. L’Obs.

A dark tale from the seventies. A true tale. Transfuge.
