'I too wanted to forget that girl. Really forget her, that is, stop
yearning to write about her. Stop thinking that I have to write
about this girl and her desire and madness, her idiocy and pride,
her hunger and her blood that ceased to flow. I have never managed
to do so.' In A Girl's Story, her latest book, Annie Ernaux
revisits the summer of 1958, spent working as a holiday camp
instructor in Normandy, and recounts the first night she spent with
a man. When he moves on, she realizes she has submitted her will to
his and finds that she is a slave without a master. Now, sixty
years later, she finds she can obliterate the intervening years and
return to consider this young woman whom she wanted to forget
completely. In writing A Girl's Story, which brings to life her
indelible memories of that summer, Ernaux discovers that here was
the vital, violent and dolorous origin of her writing life, built
out of shame, violence and betrayal.
