Sex and Lies
Slimani Leïla
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.

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.
