It's not that I'm uninterested in childhood as a concept, or even in children themselves - far from it - but some writers use childhood as a lazy shortcut, an easy way to introduce such broad themes as \"innocence lost.\" . . . Happily, the Spanish writer Elisa Victoria's debut novel, \u003ci\u003eOldladyvoice\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Charlotte Whittle), is the exact opposite of this. . . Childhood makes a lot more sense when you remember that children are basically madcap little degenerates, fascinated by their own filth, and I love that Victoria isn't shy about portraying this.' \u003ci\u003ePhrasebook\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElisa Victoria was born in Seville in 1985.
