Samenvatting
Things Even González Can’t Fix is the shockingly dark and funny debut memoir by 24-year-old Greek South African Christy Chilimigras, which will hit South African stores at the end of May. Originally titled The Tiger, The Mouse & The Furious Masturbator, it underwent a name change when it became evident that certain booksellers and media were slightly hot and bothered by the mention of the “M” word.Described by award-winning author Fred Khumalo as “littered with landmines of dangerous humour”, the book is the true story of a young girl growing up in Johannesburg in a space of pure chaos. Her childhood is strange, made up of excursions to Hillbrow at 3am, courtesy of her crack addict father, while her dope-smoking mother, Old Lass, tries to raise Christy and her sister single-handedly.“Children of addicts are curious things,” says Chilimigras. “We are deathly serious. We tinker on the edge of the worst case scenario. We are manic in our joy. We mean to dip our toes, but rather dive head first into extremes. We despise drugs ... and people who do drugs. So what then does it say about me when at 16 I fall desperately in love with a boy who perpetually has a joint dangling from his lips?”Things Even González Can’t Fix is also a disturbingly brutal story about the two sisters, subjected to a father who has been sexualising them since they were toddlers.“We are desperate for answers and the knowledge of where to place our discomfort. If it feels like abuse and hurts like abuse, but if it doesn’t look like the abuse we read about in magazines, does it even count?”At 16 Christy falls in love with Olive Oil, a dopehead addict, then, at 22, with a much older sado masochist, The Italian, who introduces her to a world of dangerously rough sex. “The book is my attempt at reclaiming my sanity and sexuality, which was colonised a long time ago. It involved countless bowls of pasta, glasses of wine (which best you believe I overthought) and a compulsion to be honest. Like oh sweet Jesus it hurts to spill your guts. It hurts to be this honest.”
