Product Information
A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book for 2011 A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year 2011 Title Tiger, Tiger is a Publishers Weekly Best Nonfiction title for 2011 A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction of 2011 title One summer day, Margaux Fragoso meets Peter Curran at the neighborhood swimming pool, and they begin to play. She is seven; he is fifty-one. When Peter invites her and her mother to his house, the little girl finds a child's paradise of exotic pets and an elaborate backyard garden. Her mother, beset by mental illness and overwhelmed by caring for Margaux, is grateful for the attention Peter lavishes on her, and he creates an imaginative universe for her, much as Lewis Carroll did for his real-life Alice. In time, he insidiously takes on the role of Margaux's playmate, father, and lover. Charming and manipulative, Peter burrows into every aspect of Margaux's life and transforms her from a child fizzing with imagination and affection into a brainwashed young woman on the verge of suicide. But when she is twenty-two, it is Peter--ill, and wracked with guilt--who kills himself, at the age of sixty-six. Told with lyricism, depth, and mesmerizing clarity, Tiger, Tiger vividly illustrates the healing power of memory and disclosure. This extraordinary memoir is an unprecedented glimpse into the psyche of a young girl in free fall and conveys to readers--including parents and survivors of abuse--just how completely a pedophile enchants his victim and binds her to him.

Ms. Fragoso is a poet....The cosmic profundity of what she has experienced...is inextricable from her gift as a narrator and contemplator of her own experience., Tiger, Tiger will start a thousand conversations. Margaux Fragoso achieves the unthinkable with empathic clarity: she humanizes a pedophile. In doing so, she makes his crime unimaginably more frightening. Her portrayal of their relationship is shocking, revelatory, and fearless. As the story of a victim, it is gripping; as a work of literature, it's a triumph., " Tiger, Tiger will start a thousand conversations. Margaux Fragoso achieves the unthinkable with empathic clarity: she humanizes a pedophile. In doing so, she makes his crime unimaginably more frightening. Her portrayal of their relationship is shocking, revelatory, and fearless. As the story of a victim, it is gripping; as a work of literature, it''s a triumph." -- Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones "A courageous memoir of sexual violation and a childhood not just stolen but obliterated...Fragoso shines a bright light of transformation into the darkest corners of an unthinkable (but all too common) past." -- Pam Houston, More "Astonishing...Brilliantly reveals her as more than a survivor: First and foremost, Fragoso is an artist." -- Marie Claire "Told in a voice that combines childlike wonder with grown-up wisdom...Fragoso manages to tell a disturbing story beautifully." -- The Washington Post "Margaux Fragoso has a remarkable lyric gift....At once beautiful and appalling, a true-life Lolita." -- New York magazine "Her tale loops amazingly around her own coming-of-age and sets her down in adulthood with a transformative twist....It breaks the mold....An astonishing and heartbreaking drama." -- Elle "Written without self-pity, rancor, or even judgment... Tiger, Tiger offers us yet another opportunity to open our eyes and redeem ourselves." -- Kathryn Harrison, The New York Times "A born storyteller...A call for awareness, understanding, prevention, and healing." -- Booklist (starred review) "Ms. Fragoso is a poet....The cosmic profundity of what she has experienced...is inextricable from her gift as a narrator and contemplator of her own experience." -- New York Observer "There are some experiences that come laced with a sense of indelible influence---certain train rides that you know you''ll remember forever even as they''re happening....Reading Tiger, Tiger produces one of those sensations." -- The Boston Globe "In this gut-wrenching memoir of sexual abuse, [Margaux Fragoso] explores with unflinching honesty the ways in which pedophiles can manipulate their ways into the lives of children. . . . Fragoso''s sense of alienation--Curran controlled her world for more than half her life--is palpable in her telling. Using her own diaries and the myriad letters, diaries, and photographs Curran left behind, Fragoso eloquently depicts psychological and sexual abuse in disturbing detail." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Disqueting . . . Culled from the four diaries she kept during the ordeal, Fragoso writes with searing honesty about her serpentine entanglement and of Curran''s calculated, menacing exploitation of her. Intensive psychotherapy and new motherhood provide a hopeful coda to her unspeakable experience. A gripping, tragic and unforgettable chronicle of lost innocence and abuse." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "You may think you''ve already decided about a child''s ordeal with a sexual predator, but under Margaux Fragoso''s command you will consider the richest depths of experience, terrible, bright, and beautiful. Fragoso writes with unguarded grace and provides a voice--real and haunting--for those children, everywhere among us, who are deprived of theirs." -- Susanna Sonnenberg, author of Her Last Death " Tiger, Tiger is stunning, in all the possible manifestations of that word." -- Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City "Once in a generation, an essential book--a necessary book--comes along and challenges our bedrock assumptions about life. Margaux Fragoso''s Tiger, Tiger is that book. Family life, the corruption of innocence, sexual abuse, pedophilia--all are unflinchingly yet exquisitely rendered as Fragoso experienced them. You will never view childhood the same way after reading Fragoso''s monumentally important book." -- Louise DeSalvo, author of Writing as a Way of Healing, A courageous memoir of sexual violation and a childhood not just stolen but obliterated...Fragoso shines a bright light of transformation into the darkest corners of an unthinkable (but all too common) past., You may think you've already decided about a child's ordeal with a sexual predator, but under Margaux Fragoso's command you will consider the richest depths of experience, terrible, bright, and beautiful.
