«El cuerpo en que nací» is Guadalupe Nettel's coming-of-age novel, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Based on the author's childhood, it follows a girl with a congenital eye defect in the 1970s. Her poor vision and countercultural surroundings bring her closer to those living on the margins. Written as a soliloquy before a psychoanalyst, it reviews her memories between Latin America and Europe in a coming-of-age novel with humour and realism.
It belongs to the Narrativas hispánicas collection, number 491. It is the second edition, published in 2011.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in coming-of-age novels with an autobiographical background.
