Dull Pain
About This Novel
This book is the debut novel of contemporary French female writer Inés Bayard. It was shortlisted for France's most important literary award in 2018, the Prix Goncourt. With the writing style and courage to face reality directly, the novel tears apart the veil of tenderness in life and tells a tragedy caused by sexual assault. In a literary way, this book reveals the unimaginable physical and mental harm and unspeakable pain that women suffer after being sexually assaulted, as well as the sad attitude of the whole society towards sexual assault in the context of the prevalence of feminism. In a deeper sense, "Hidden Pain" reveals the tragedy of relationships between people, not only between perpetrators and victims, but also existential tragedies between relatives and relatives, friends and friends, and even the changes in people's (victims') cognition of the meaning of self and others. Inés Bayar shows readers the huge and complex black hole in life with a writing style that is so cold that it is almost cruel and horrifying.
