In her latest work, Annie Ernaux recounts a relationship with a
student thirty years her junior – an experience that transforms
her, briefly, back into the ‘scandalous girl’ of her youth.
When she is with him, she replays scenes she has already lived
through, feeling both ageless and closer to death. Laid like a
palimpsest on the present, the past’s immediacy pushes her to
take a decisive step in her writing – producing, in turn, the
need to expunge her lover. At once stark and tender, The Young Man
is a taut encapsulation of Ernaux’s relationship to time, memory
and writing.
