Lize Spit instantly became a name in the Belgian literary world with her bestseller debut ‘It Melts’. Her books aroused curiosity: what is fictional and what is reality? In her new book ‘Autobiography of my body’, she drops all masks. She talks to Pieter van der Wielen about her complicated childhood and how she tried to say goodbye with dignity to her mother, with whom she never had an intimate bond. About the freedom that writing a book offers, but also about its consequences. And about how her illness, diabetes, has marked her body and life.
