French author Sandrine Destombes is one of the guests of the BCNegra festival in Barcelona. Her new novel, Ritual, is macabre, narratively risky and disturbing.
In the novel, seven feet cut off and tied together appear floating in the Seine River. “I have no plan and I don't need one. I look for something that attracts me and I shoot,” says the 54-year-old author. She belongs to a generation marked by the death of little Grégory Villémin in 1984.
