La traición de mi lengua

“Memory is the most treacherous emotion there is,” writes Camila Sosa Villada. In this book, the author delves into the folds of memory, where memory—always shifting and disordered—leaves us exposed to emotions we can barely control. But can we resist the siege of certain memories? she asks. And in this quest, she finds a way to survive: she does so through the idea of ​​betrayal and the relationship between language—the same language she has subverted and uses in her works—and eroticism and her own origins. In this dazzling text, Camila Sosa embraces the apparent chaos of what is evoked and transforms it into an intimate structure, made of detours, coincidences, and discoveries. Her sharp and poetic prose moves on the border between fiction and confession, between what is inherited and what is betrayed. A book about the capacity to write from the edge, an act of risk and freedom.
