Wetlands

Wetlands, Charlotte Roche, Barcelona, Proa, 2009 (2008)

Roche’s novel provides the reader from the cover, as “the most revolutionary book ever written on the body of the woman” no longer a book filled with topics that tries to deceive its receipt from approach rugged situations, bad taste and poor sense erotic. A protagonist of eighteen years, Helen, whose sole aim to bring together parents, to live again, and playing with their piles for this purpose, no longer a pretext for a fast and straightforward narration that the reader gets bored . After fifty pages of descriptions of holes in the body, offering live streams juice and diverse, the monotony reigns in history without history. That is, a superfluous book will be of interest only to those seeking an easy read that can be broken into small pieces, as time stops every day. The story line, so low-not lost, the character does not grow. And an unlikely final short narrative voice that is proud of having passed the maturity, in that, as a woman who already has the majority, can go live with parents who want not.
