«El petó» is Kathryn Harrison's memoir, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (176 pages, in Catalan).
The author recalls the reunion, at age twenty, with the father absent during her youth and the obsessive, transgressive relationship that arises between them. With hypnotic prose, she addresses taboo, family complicity, and the emotional triangle that leaves the daughter trapped between mother and father.
This Catalan edition is a translation by Xavier Dilla of the English original The Kiss: A Memoir (1996). It belongs to the Anagrama/Empúries collection, no. 4, co-published with Anagrama.
Aimed at readers of memoirs and literary nonfiction, especially those seeking intimate stories about family, desire, and transgression.
