A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Tiger, Tiger will start a thousand conversations. It is shocking, revelatory and fearless. As the story of a victim, it is gripping; as a work of literature, it's a triumph' (Alice Sebold, Author Of The Lovely Bones )

Margaux Fragoso was only 7 years old when she swam up to a guy in his 50s and asked him to play with her. The mesmerizing memoir of the next fifteen years - spent with the pedophile who became her playmate, father, and lover - had us enraged, horrified, and unable to put it down. (Daily Candy, the 10 Nonfiction Reads of the New Year )

Margaux Fragoso's memoir, a subtly crafted account of her 15-year involvement as a child and adolescent with a middle-aged man, asks urgent questions about the traffic between memory and art. (Boyd Tonkin, Ones To Watch In 2011 The Independent )

An Observer Cultural Highlight of 2011 (The Observer )

What I'm Telling My Friends: Brave, dark, and horrifying ... an unforgettable survivor's story. Get it. Read it. NOW! (Julie Kane LibraryJournal.com )

Revelatory...her tale loops amazingly around her own coming-of-age and sets her down in adulthood with a transformative twist...it breaks the mold...an astonishing and heartbreaking drama. (Elle US )

We dare you to turn away. (O, The Oprah Magazine )

Astonishing. (Marie Claire US )

Fragoso is a born storyteller, and stories were her fail-safe during her scarring entanglement with the man who devoured her childhood....[She] matches shattering exposure with humanizing insights and extraordinary compassion. (Booklist )

A Top Ten Memoir of 2011. (Publisher's Weekly )

Présentation de l'éditeur :

I still think about Peter, the man I loved most in the world, all the time. At two in the afternoon, when he would come and pick me up and take me for rides; at five, when I would read to him, head on his chest; in the despair at seven p.m., when he would hold me and rub my belly for an hour; in the despair again at nine p.m. when we would go for a night ride, down to the Royal Cliffs Diner in Englewood Cliffs where I would buy a cup of coffee with precisely seven sugars and a lot of cream. We were friends, soul mates and lovers. I was seven. He was fifty-one.
