Yo era un chico is everything that Fer Rivas (Spain) did not dare to say to her father before he died. An autobiographical novel in the form of a long letter, in which the author speaks about everything that was not mentioned before. She reveals her true identity, and confesses her shame and fear when it came to telling him in life. This is also a fierce criticism of an oppressive masculinity that made healthier father-son relations impossible. “If my past Fer had had the chance to read this, the world would have been different.” In conversation with performing artist and researcher María Raquel Pacheco Guzmán.
