Description
Gabriela Wiener's autobiographical novel explores the complex legacy of colonialism through her own family ties. In an ethnographic museum in Paris, she confronts the artefacts plundered by her great-great-grandfather, Austrian colonial explorer Charles Wiener. As she delves into her paternal line's history, Wiener uncovers a trail of racism and theft, as well as revelations about her father's infidelity. This search for identity leads her to reframe her own struggles with desire, love, and race. Blending personal, historical, and fictional writing, Undiscovered builds towards a powerful call for decolonization. Through its subversive and intimate narrative, the book seeks to challenge old stories of patriarchs and plunder, offering a new perspective on identity and its complexities.
