«No kid: Quaranta bones raons per no tenir fills» is the essay by Corinne Maier, published by labutxaca in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
Corinne Maier questions the idealized discourse that extols motherhood and presents forty reasons not to have children. The author describes strange situations and the radical change that raising children entails, and also addresses parents who dare not admit in public that life with children can be hellish.
«No kid» was originally published in French as «Quarante raisons de ne pas avoir d'enfant» in 2007; the Catalan edition includes the translation by Ona Rius Piqué.
It is a book for readers of social criticism and caustic humour, and for parents who want to laugh at the less pleasant side of raising children.
Corinne Maier is a Swiss-born, French psychoanalyst, economist, and best-selling writer. She is best known for being the author of Bonjour paresse, a cynical critique of French corporate culture. In 2016, Maier was named as one of the BBC 100 Women.
