description The main objective of this article is the critical study of the novel Anima by the Lebanese born and naturalised Canadian writer Wajdi Mouawad (1968-). This self-fictional work, characterized by a polyphony of animal storytellers, seduces and discomforts the reader as he or she witnesses atrocious and savage acts: rape, murder, torture and war. Each chapter brings us closer to the consequences of a linguistic, ideological, cultural and geographical exile derived from the Lebanese civil war that the author himself suffered during his childhood. Mouawad, considered a committed writer, reflects on the identity of the exile: an individual who has been a victim of loss, loneliness, violence and trauma.
