Because she has never experienced romance in Venice, a writer decides to chronicle her disappointed loves, from her first forbidden impulses to her wanderings as a mature woman. Venice Off, the autobiography of a lesbian violently rejected by her family, takes us on a journey through her sexual and love life. Through memories of adolescence, encounters marked by violence and disappointment, and reflections on the passage of time, we see the portrait of a woman in search of redemption and meaning.
Written in the second person, this novel full of winks to literature is also that of a singular writer, that of a remarkable young novelist who has isolated herself from the world to accompany a mother at the end of her life.
