Nettel chooses to narrate one's own body over the patriotic body. Nettel's hybrid and personal form makes visible the non-normative body (female and disabled body, as Lilia A. Pérez Limón has observed); moreover, her observation of the bodies displaced by dictatorships in the Southern Cone, the critique of the generation that lived through the social movements of the 196s and 1970s, and the personal experience of class and ethnic category mobility in the narrator's displacements between France and Mexico propose the intimate and bodily experience over the constitutive discourse of the national body.
