«Per què ser feliç quan podries ser normal?» is the memoir by Jeanette Winterson, published by Edicions del Periscopi in paperback (264 pages, in Catalan).
Jeanette Winterson recounts how she survived a childhood marked by an authoritarian and cruel adoptive mother, taking refuge in books and in the search for affection in a world that did not accept her way of living. This autobiography, full of ferocious humour, is also a vindication of literature as consolation and of love as a home to live in.
Volume 7 of the Astrolabi collection. Translation by Dolors Udina.
