Incest (French: L'inceste) is a 1999 autofiction novel by French author Christine Angot. It was translated into English by Tess Lewis[1] in 2017.[2] The story follows an anxious, depressed woman named Christine as she works through emotional turmoil following the end of her relationship with her lover and first lesbian partner Marie-Christine. Christine conveys her thoughts in a very disconnected manner as she discusses with readers the complicated relationships with her ex-lover, her ex-husband, her young daughter, and her father, who instigated an incestuous relationship with Christine when she was a teenager.
