Tess Lewis): Incest relates the violent relationship Christine Angot had with her father and audaciously confronts its readers with one of our greatest taboos. Angot's writing goes fast, strong and far, disrupts forms, framework, as well as mainstream literary codes. So much so that her reader is left alone with one disturbing – yet essential – question: what's the relationship of an author with reality? About the Albertine Prize: The Albertine Prize recognizes American readers’ favorite work of contemporary Francophone fiction while encouraging the discovery of new literary voices, translated and published in the US in the past year. The selection presents a range of stories from many diverse locations and perspectives, reminding us of the importance of looking beyond one’s own borders.
