Sex and Lies

Sex and Lies

The first work of non-fiction in English from the prize-winning and internationally bestselling author of Lullaby and Adèle, translated by Sophie Lewis. In these essays, Leila Slimani gives voice to young Moroccan women who are grappling with a conservative Arab culture that at once condemns and commodifies sex. In a country where the law punishes and outlaws all forms of sex outside marriage, as well as homosexuality and prostitution, women have only two options for their sexual identities: virgin or wife. Sex and Lies is an essential confrontation with Morocco's intimate demons and a vibrant appeal for the universal freedom to be, to love and to desire.

Slimani Lejla

Lejla Slimani (1981, Rabat) prva je Marokanka koja je osvojila najprestižniju francusku književnu nagradu Prix Goncourt, i to romanom prevedenim na trideset jezika – Uspavaj me. Novinarka i zagovornica ženskih i ljudskih prava, lična je predstavnica francuskog predsjednika Emmanuela Macrona za promociju francuskog jezika i kulture. Do sada je objavila tri romana U vrtu ljudoždera, Uspavaj me i Zemlja drugih – prvi dio planirane autobiografske trilogije, te nekoliko knjiga eseja, od kojih Seks i laži: Seksualni život u Maroku sadrži ispovijesti mnogih žena s kojima je razgovarala dok je bila na književnoj turneji po Maroku. Lejla Slimani živi i radi u Parizu.
