Molnár T. Eszter’s Teréz, vagy a test emlékezete operates with three first person narrators, each originating from the same childhood trauma: the main character was abused as a child and she has never been allowed to talk about what happened. Restriction of speech appears not only in the lives of the three women but also in the mode of narration itself. Language, speaking, identity and body are intertwined on the level of the story as well as through intertextual associations and intermediary constellations, such as the use of a nursery rhyme or collages made of dictionaries.
